[ESPN Stats & Info] Samad Taylor is the 2nd Royal to hit a walk-off in his debut. The other was Kevin Seitzer in 1986. Before today, the Royals had lost 178 straight games when trailing by 6+ runs in the 7th inning or later. Not a bad way to snap a 10-game skid.

[I also thought this was interesting so I figured I would add it here instead of adding another post:](https://twitter.com/OptaSTATS/status/1670240082329042946?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet)”Today marks the only time in the modern era that 2 players (Samad Taylor, @Royals & Zach Remillard, @whitesox) had game-winning hits in the 9th inning or later in their MLB debuts on the same day.”
