The 15-year Dayton Moore era has plenty of acquisitions, trades, and roster moves. Some have been great, some have been terrible, and plenty have been everything in between. In February, when news broke that the Royals were trading for Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi, there were very few Kansas City fans that weren’t thrilled about the news. Their excitement has been rewarded; following an excellent May, Benintendi opened June with a night to remember, continuing what’s been an excellent season thus far for him.
The Royals took care of the Pirates, 10-5, thanks to an offensive outburst in the middle innings.
