Vinnie Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, and two runs scored in Friday’s loss to the Pirates.
Pasquantino got the scoring started for the Royals in the first inning when he turned a first-pitch fastball from Paul Skenes into a 410-foot homer to give the Royals a 1-0 lead. Pasquantino would strike again in the third inning, this time singling to bring home Kyle Isbel. He would later come around to score on an RBI double by Maikel Garcia to push the Royals’ lead to 4-0 on a night when they were able to get to Paul Skenes early and often. It was a good night for Pasquantino, who has struggled to the tune of a .200/.274/.473 slash line on the month but has still managed to hit four homers while driving in 10 runs.
