Yoan Moncada belts pair of dingers in White Sox win over Kansas City

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Yoan Moncada's offensive work yielded its biggest benefits to date on Wednesday as he hit his first and second homers of the spring.

Avisail Garcia and Cody Asche also homered for the White Sox, who downed the Kansas City Royals 7-3 at Camelback Ranch. Moncada's two-homer performance raised his spring OPS by more than 200 points as he belted a pair of dingers off Kansas City veterans Jason Hammel and Kelvin Herrera.

"You know (Herrera's) one of the best in his role," Moncada said through an interpreter. "I'm very happy because I hit two homers today and it was a very good game for me.
