  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Sitting against southpaw

    Pasquantino is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Angels.

    With the Angels sending southpaw Patrick Sandoval to the mound Sunday, the lefty-hitting Pasquantino will get the series finale off. Pasquantino has gone 13-for-36 with one home run and 11 RBI since May 1, and he is up to a .248/.329/.445 slash line over 161 plate appearances this season. Salvador Perez will start at first base Sunday in Pasquantino's stead.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Homer, three RBI in win

    Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Angels.

    Pasquantino jumped on a hanging four-seamer with two outs in the top of the third inning and crushed it into the stands for his fifth home run of the season, and his first this month. The first baseman would also add a sacrifice fly in the contest, marking the third time in his last five games in which he's tallied multiple RBI. Pasquantino is on an absolute tear right now, registering three multi-hit games in a row with at least one extra-base hit in each of those performances. He's batting .429 (12-for-28) in May with 11 RBI, six runs scored and six extra-base hits.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Three hits, three RBI

    Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a two-run double and a run during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.

    Pasquantino gave the Royals the lead in the fifth inning, plating Kyle Isbel and Bobby Witt on a double off Colin Rea. He came around to score in that same inning when Salvador Perez notched a double himself. The outing marked Pasquantino's third game this season driving in at least three runs, moving him up to 21 RBI on the year.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Takes seat Sunday

    Pasquantino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    With the Royals wrapping up their series with a day game and with ace lefty Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers, Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro likely felt that it was an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Pasquantino a game off. Pasquantino had started in each of the Royals' last 14 games and had gone hitless over the past five contests.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Belts fourth homer

    Pasquantino went 1-for-3 with a home run and scored three times during Friday's win over the Orioles.

    Pasquantino's fourth-inning shot put the Royals ahead 1-0, and he drew a walk in the sixth to help spark a five-run inning that would keep Kansas City in front for the remainder of the game. The 26-year-old first baseman is slashing an incredible .481/.559/1.111 with four homers and 11 RBI during his seven-game hitting streak.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Smashes third homer

    Pasquantino went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's win over the White Sox.

    Pasquantino went deep for the second straight game, crushing a 421-foot solo shot off Nick Nastrini in the fourth inning. The Royals first baseman is riding a five-game hit streak over which he has gone 9-for-21 with three home runs, 10 RBI and five runs scored. Pasquantino has used the hot stretch to significantly boost his season slash line, which stands at .255/.344/.473 over 64 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Hits homer for lone run in loss

    Pasquantino went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Mets.

    Pasquantino was the only Royal to get on base multiple times in the low-scoring loss. He got Kansas City on the board with a ninth-inning homer, his second long ball in four games. After an ice-cold start to the season, he's gone 8-for-15 with nine RBI over his last four contests. Pasquantino remains the Royals' top option at first base, though he could also lose some at-bats versus left-handed pitchers if Nick Loftin sees more time at first once Michael Massey (back) joins the competition for playing time at second base.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Knocks in three more runs

    Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 13-3 win over the Astros.

    Pasquantino's slow start has been the cloud looming over an otherwise excellent first two weeks of the campaign for the Royals. He's making up for lost time now with six hits and eight RBI over his last two contests, a span that also includes all three of his extra-base hits on the year. He's still hitting .222 with a .641 OPS, but the first baseman's recent performances show why the Royals stuck with him through the early slump. Pasquantino should continue to handle a near-everyday role between first base and designated hitter.
