[Anne Rogers] Bobby Witt Jr.: “Now we go. Like I keep saying, we didn’t just come this far to come this far.” Moments later, he and several other #Royals watched the end of the Twins’ loss, which brought Kansas City’s playoff lead to 2 games with five games to play.

1. I like to hear that. Hopefully this is a jump start that can turn things around for these last five games. They’re so close to the finish line. Just finish strong, boys, that’s all we ask

3. What’s really wild is that Minnesota lost to Miami, whose season has been going only slightly better than the White Sox, and that second place in the AL central,is being shared with Detroit who were a long shot all season.

6. Teams still in the playoff hunt –

   We own the tie breaker on the Rays – they can no longer pass us.
   Red Sox own the tie breaker on us – the magic number to not worry about them anymore is 2
   We own the tie breaker on the Mariners – the magic number to not worry about them anymore is 2
   The Twins own the tie breaker on us – the magic number to not worry about them anymore is 4
   We own the tie breaker on the Tigers – any tie with them we go in ahead of them
