## Resource

JJ Wetherholt went absolutely bonkers with two homers and three RBIs, leading the Cardinals to a thrilling 12-10 win over the Royals and saving them from a series sweep. Masyn Winn and Iván Herrera each added three-run blasts, fueling a season-high 16-hit offensive explosion. The Cardinals surged ahead 9-2 by the second inning, but the Royals roared back with homers from Loftin, Caglianone (who’s on a tear), Perez, and Jensen. St. Louis’ bullpen stepped up after a shaky start, with Gordon Graceffo earning the win. Royals starter Stephen Kolek took the loss, and Bobby Witt Jr. remains sidelined with an MCL sprain. Up next: Royals head to Tampa for a showdown with the Rays, while Cardinals return home to face Arizona. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
