Kendrys Morales delivers career RBI No. 500
Edinson Volquez pitches six innings and improves to 2-0
Eric Hosmer hits his first home run this season
OAKLAND, Calif.
Kendrys Morales delivered the best kind of milestone RBI, one that makes a difference in a victory.
The Royals opened a three-game series against the Athletics with a 4-2 victory Friday, and Morales drove in the third run with a third-inning single through the middle.
It scored Lorenzo Cain, who had moved to second on Eric Hosmer’s groundout, and gave the Royals a two-run lead. The hit resulted in Morales’ 500th career RBI, and it proved to be the Royals’ final timely knock.
