The Royals’ offense broke through on Wednesday night, as they managed to defeat the Pirates 9-6 — snapping a seven-game losing streak at PNC Park. Their 15 wins matches the 2015 Royals for wins in April.
After collecting just four hits on Tuesday, Kansas City turned on a switch in the top of the first. With two outs and a runner on first, Jorge Soler smashed an 11-pitch double to the opposite field — giving the Royals a 1-0 lead. Two batters later, Hunter Dozier rocked a 102 mph triple into the gap in left-center field — scoring two runs.
