That’s a wrap on the 2025 season.

Carter Jensen just hit a mammoth home run for his third hit of the afternoon.

On a 3-0 pitch, he smacked a 482-foot blast that nearly cleared the berm in RF at Sutter Health Park. It's the *longest home run by a Royal in the Statcast era (2015-pres.).*

Carlos EstΓ©vez earns his 42nd save of the season.

In a truly outstanding first season with the Royals, EstΓ©vez clinches the Major League lead in saves. He's the second Royal to lead all of MLB in saves, joining Dan Quisenberry who did so with 45 saves in 1983.

Michael Wacha throws 6.0 scoreless innings in his final start of 2025.

He ends his second season as a Royal with a 3.86 ERA in 172.2 innings across a career-high 31 starts. As consistent & dependable of a starter the team had all season.

Noah Cameron grinded through 4.2 innings and was ultimately charged with 3 ER in his final start of the year.

He ends his rookie season with a 2.99 ERA in 138.1 innings across 24 starts with 114 K & 43 BB. A terrific first season for the Southpaw from St. Joseph.

Thankfully, Vinnie Pasquantino hit the *next* pitch in a better direction for a two-run homer.

Carter Jensen's caught stealing of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to end the 7th inning was the second of his career & his first at Kauffman Stadium.

His first CS was credited as a result of a 1-3-4 pickoff, so today's instance was the first *runner he's thrown out* as a big leaguer.
