April 26, 2026 - Kansas City - The Kansas City Royals finished a wild weekend with an 11-9 extra-inning win over the Los Angeles Angels, completing the series sweep.
The game turned in the 10th, when Lane Thomas hit a three-run homer with runners on second and third. ESPN's recap put it plainly: Thomas delivered the swing that lifted Kansas City through a back-and-forth finish.
Thomas Had the Last Word
This was not a clean pitching game. The Angels had 16 hits. The Royals had 12. Neither team made an error. It was the kind of afternoon where every insurance run felt necessary.
Thomas made sure Kansas City got the biggest one. A three-run homer in extras is not just a highlight; it is a series-sweep swing.
