Ex-Phillie Matt Strahm, John Schreiber, Daniel Lynch IV and Alex Lange (eight saves) combined to allow two hits and an unearned run.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City led 3-2 in the eighth when Witt and Lane Thomas each walked, then both scored on Perez\u2019s two-out double to the left field wall.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia\u2019s Aaron Nola (3-6) overcame a rocky beginning to last a season-high seven innings, giving up three runs and seven hits, while striking out seven without a walk. Bryson Stott had two of the five hits for Philadelphia, which recorded 12 during a 6-1 win Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City wasted no time getting to Nola in the first. Witt, who recorded a 30th stolen base for the fifth straight season, laced a one-out single to center and scored on Thomas\u2019 two-out double. Michael Massey followed with an RBI single.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia\u2019s Gabriel Rincones doubled to lead off the third, but was stranded at third base by Avila, who yielded a triple off the right-center-field wall from Stott in the fifth. Rincones followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City regained its two-run lead in the bottom of the fifth. After successfully challenging a second called third strike of the day against him, Isaac Collins doubled to left-center and eventually scored on Jac Caglianone\u2019s sacrifice fly to center.<\/p>\n<p>In the seventh, Stott singled, then reached third via third baseman Josh Rojas\u2019 throwing error on a force attempt at second base. Stott scored when Garrett Stubbs beat out a double-play attempt at first base.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t<\/footer>\n<p><!-- #entry-meta -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v23.0\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.lvfoxsports.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luinder Avila allowed a run over five solid innings, while Bobby Witt Jr. posted two hits with two runs and Salvador Perez delivered a late two-run double as the Kansas City Royals evened their three-game set against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies with a 5-2 victory Sunday.
