Samad Taylor’s first major league hit lifted the Kansas City Royals to a 10–9 walk-off, come-from-behind win over the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Saturday afternoon.

Making his major league debut, Taylor delivered a one-out single to deep center field as the Royals scored twice in the ninth, overcoming a six-run deficit. Bobby Witt Jr. led Kansas City’s comeback with two-run hits in both the seventh and eighth innings as the Royals plated three in each frame to tie the game.
