Vinnie Pasquantino Hits Two of Royals’ Four Homers, Kansas City Tops Cubs 8-4
CHICAGO, JUL 23 – Pasquantino hit two of the Royals' four home runs, raising his season total to 17 and helping Kansas City secure the series win over Chicago Cubs.
- On Wednesday at Wrigley Field, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago Cubs 8-4, highlighted by Vinnie Pasquantino hitting two two-run homers and doubling in a 3-for-4 performance.
- The Royals’ offensive breakout came after Pasquantino struggled with just one hit over his last 16 at-bats prior to the game, and it coincided with the end of Colin Rea’s four-game winning streak when he gave up six runs in five innings.
- Additional key contributions included Salvador Perez and rookie Tyler Tolbert, who homered to extend the Royals’ lead, as Chicago’s Pete Crow-Armstrong and Matt Shaw each hit solo homers during the game.
- Pasquantino raised his season total to 17 home runs with two 400-foot-plus drives, while Perez, 35 years old, has five homers in his last five games and leads the team with 18 homers.
- The Royals won two out of the three games played against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, with Michael Wacha set to start for Kansas City and Shota Imanaga scheduled to pitch for Chicago in their respective Friday matchups.
