Game Preview

Bobby Witt Jr. and the Kansas City Royals aim to continue their torrid ways on Friday when they open a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Witt followed up his two-homer, six-RBI performance on Tuesday with a two-run double in Kansas City’s 8-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. The 23-year-old is 10-for-24 (.417) with two home runs, 10 RBIs and seven runs during a six-game hitting streak.

Witt’s contributions have helped the Royals outscore their foes by a 45-18 margin during their six-game winning streak. They have scored at least eight runs in each of the last four games.
