Royals Announcer Pulls Off Incredible Reverse Jinx on Team’s Go-Ahead Home Run
The Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians were scheduled to play two at Progressive Field on Monday. The game was tied heading into the eighth inning when Royals announcer Rex Hudler pulled off an incredible—and seemingly unintentional—reverse jinx that ended up winning the game for Kansas City.
Hunter Gaddis took the mound to start the inning with Bobby Witt Jr. leading off for the Royals. As Gaddis prepared to deliver his second pitch of the inning, Hudler, calling the game with Jake Eisenberg on Bally Sports Kansas City, marveled at the fact that he had only given up three home runs all season. You can probably guess what happened next.

“Man, oh man, he’s only given up three home runs? Four!”
Hudler had barely finished his sentence by the time he was interrupted by the crack of Witt’s bat. Without missing a beat he corrected himself to reflect the new total. It was Witt’s 27th home run of the year and strangely the second appearance in a row where Gaddis surrendered a homer. It was only the third earned run he had given up in all of August and 11th of the season.
Hudler can clearly alter the course of games simply by pointing out statistics on the broadcast. That could come in handy during down the stretch.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Rite Aid confirmed Monday the company is slated to close all but four of its Ohio drugstore locations.
“Nearly all of our stores in Ohio will be closing by the end of September,” a Rite Aid spokesperson said to 19 News.
The company shared this list of the four locations that will remain in operation:
- 419 Claremont Avenue, Ashland, Ohio
- 735 North Water Street, Uhrichsville, Ohio
- 1955 Cleveland Road, Wooster, Ohio
- 1045 Wheeling Avenue, Cambridge, Ohio
The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections in 2023 in connection to lawsuits and losses, according to the Associated Press.
The drugstore retailer has been closing locations since its bankruptcy announcement.
According to a spokesperson, most prescriptions and pharmacy inventory will be transferred to Walgreens to reduce disruption of service.
Rite Aid says the impacted stores will maintain normal pharmacy operations up to and including their last day of business.
“We are fully committed to helping our customers make the transition to their new pharmacy,” the spokesperson said.
