As the Royals prepare to take an ALDS lead against the Yankees, Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes is ready to express his support.
On Monday, the Kansas City Royals knotted their ALDS matchup at one game apiece. When the Royals return to the field, they will receive a morale boost from Kansas City Chiefs standout Patrick Mahomes.
According to Jeff Rosen of the Kansas City Star, Mahomes has verified that he will be at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday for Game 3. The quarterback is a part-owner of the franchise and hopes that his Kansas City pride can lead the Royals to success.
They were successful on Monday thanks to Kansas City’s outstanding pitching performance. Starter Cole Ragans limited the New York Yankees to one run over four innings, and the opponents didn’t score again until the ninth inning. But a home hit by Salvador Perez sparked a four-run fourth inning, which was all the Royals needed to win 4-2.
Patrick Mahomes had to watch from afar as his Chiefs faced the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. Mahomes, like the Royals, guided the Chiefs to a 26-13 victory, improving to 5-0 on the season. The quarterback completed 28 of 39 passes for 331 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
The Chiefs are well aware of what it takes to win a championship, having won two consecutive Super Bowls and three in the last five. The Royals last won the World Series in 2015. That was the last time they made the playoffs, making their 2024 run even more memorable.
Mahomes will be able to witness Kansas City’s brilliance in person. The Royals hope that some of his success will rub off on them. But after defeating the Yankees in Game 2, the Royals now have momentum coming home. The TV cameras will undoubtedly catch Mahomes at least once throughout the game. Kansas City hopes that when they do, he will celebrate the Royals’ accomplishment.
