ANAHEIM, Calif.—Adam Frazier hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning and the Kansas City Royals rallied for a 2–1 victory over the hapless Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.

MJ Melendez delivered a one-out single off Angels closer Carlos Estévez (0–2) before Frazier put his first homer in 31 games this season into the short porch in right field. Frazier hadn’t homered in 74 games since last July 30 with Baltimore.
