KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Freddy Fermin had fouled off a couple of bunt attempts earlier in the week, yet Royals manager Matt Quatraro had no qualms about calling for another one with the backup catcher at the plate and a chance to beat the White Sox on Thursday.
This time, Fermin’s bunt was fair.
Nick Pratto immediately dashed home from third base, but the bunt was so perfectly executed that there was never even a play, and that allowed Kansas City to escape with a 4-3 victory over Chicago and its first home series win of the season.
The Royals head out on a nine-game trip but have not announced a starting pitcher for Friday night’s opener of a three-game series in Milwaukee.
