Game XIII: Royals v. Astros
Photo by Reed Hoffmann/Getty ImagesBetween 2018 and 2023, the Kansas City Royals had just one winning streak of at least seven games after having at least one such streak every season from 2013-2017. The Royals added to that list last night with its 11-2 blowout win against the Astros.
A lot of great things happened last night.
Vinnie Pasquantino hit his first double and home run, going 3-3 with a walk and a career-high five RBI. Those were his first five RBI on the season. The Royals were 6-4 without a single RBI from their #3 hitter.
“Just wait until Vinnie gets going,” Seth Lugo recalled saying in the midst of the Royals' then-six-game winning streak.
