Bobby Witt Jr would double in the third to plate Kyle Isbel to knot the score at one.
The Royals would take the lead on a Vinnie Pasquantino RBI single in the third, and Salvador Perez would deliver the penultimate dagger to plate two more in the seventh to make the game 4-2 Kansas City.
James MacArthur shuts the door in the ninth, and the Royals (48-40) win game two of the three-game set.
Zach Eflin will toe the slab opposite Alex Marsh for Kansas City at 8:10 PM EST at Kauffman Stadium.
