Royals Rout Guardians as Rojas Collects Four RBI

Josh Rojas delivered a standout off-the-bench performance, going 2-for-2 with a home run and four RBIs as the Royals beat the Guardians 8-3, marking his second career four-RBI game and fueling a push for more playing time. Through 91 major-league plate appearances this season, he is batting .247 with two homers, 13 RBIs, one stolen base and nine runs scored. The Royals had recalled Rojas from Triple-A Omaha to fill in after Michael Massey’s concussion, positioning him as a key bench option while Tyler Tolbert handles most starts at second base. In the Saturday win, Rojas contributed a two-run single and a two-run homer, helping Kansas City extend its late-season surge and clinch the series in Cleveland. Rojas’ productive stretch comes as the Royals push to climb in the American League wild-card race, riding 12 wins in 13 games as they approach critical late-season matchups. The combination of clutch hits and versatility from Rojas could shape his role down the stretch as Kansas City looks to maximize depth from its expanded roster.
