Dairon Blanco ripped a two-run single to cap a four-run sixth inning on Friday, lifting the surging Kansas City Royals to a 7-5 victory over the host Philadelphia Phillies.

Blanco finished with three RBIs and Bobby Witt Jr. launched two-run shot in the third inning to become the first player in major league history to have 20 homers and 30 stolen bases in each of his first two seasons.

Philadelphia's Nick Castellanos belted a two-run homer in the first inning and Johan Rojas added a two-run double in the fourth. Trea Turner had an RBI single in the sixth inning to snap a 0-for-17 drought for the Phillies. That closed the book on Nola, who took the loss after allowing five runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
