## Resource

The Royals’ rollercoaster season hit another peak of drama as they lost a heartbreaker to the Twins, thanks to a walk-off triple by Royce Lewis with two outs. Seth Lugo shined with six strong innings, adjusting his pitch mix to dominate at Target Field, while the team turned a season-high five double plays. But the bullpen’s shaky finish — capped by closer Alex Lange’s costly mistake — dashed their momentum. With the trade deadline looming, the Royals’ relief corps may see changes, and the pressure’s on others to step up.
