Royals power past Braves; Ronald Acuna Jr. (Achilles) exits
July 30 - Kyle Isbel's three-run double highlighted a five-run sixth inning while Vinnie Pasquantino homered, doubled and singled as the Kansas City Royals won 9-6 over the visiting Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Jonathan India had a two-run double and Bobby Witt Jr. recorded two RBI singles as the Royals evened the three-game set with their sixth win in nine games. Austin Riley and Marcell Ozuna homered for the Braves, who removed Ronald Acuna Jr. in the sixth inning after he struggled to corral Pasquantino's double. The team described the ailment as Achilles tightness. Fresh off signing a two-year, $46 million contract extension to stay in Kansas City, Seth Lugo (8-5) held the Braves off the scoreboard for five innings. He wound up allowing seven hits, three runs and four walks over 5 2/3 innings while registering five strikeouts. Ozuna, subject of consistent trade rumors, added an RBI single in the seventh for the Braves, who have lost eight of 10. Recently acquired Erick Fedde (4-11) made his first start for the Braves and gave up four runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings. He walked two and fanned three. Fedde retired the first two batters he faced before Pasquantino sent the ball just inside the right field foul pole for a 1-0 Kansas City lead. In the second, India hit the left field fence on a ball that drifted away from Atlanta's Jurickson Profar to drive in two. Witt followed with a run-scoring hit. Lugo was cruising until two outs in the sixth, when Riley took him deep over the center-field wall. After Michael Harris II singled, Ozuna clubbed his second homer of the series to make it 4-3. Lugo then loaded the bases, but Hunter Harvey entered and got Profar on a lineout to center. The Royals, on the other hand, didn't waste their bases-loaded opportunity in the bottom of the sixth. Isbel cleared the bags with a hit off Enyel De Los Santos that Profar appeared to take the wrong angle on. The ball reached the left field wall for a 7-4 Kansas City edge. Isbel scored on another hit from Witt, who stole second and scored on Pasquantino's ground-rule double. --Field Level Media

Vinnie Pasquantino hits two of Royals' four homers, Kansas City tops Cubs 8-4
CHICAGO -- Vinnie Pasquantino hit two of Kansas City's four two-run homers and doubled on a 3-for-4 afternoon, leading the Royals past the Chicago Cubs 8-4 on Wednesday. Salvador Perez and rookie Tyler Tolbert also went deep as the Royals took two of three games from the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Tolbert's homer was his first in the majors. Matt Shaw and Pete Crow-Armstrong hit solo shots for Chicago, which entered tied with Milwaukee for first place in the NL Central and the best record in the majors. Pasquantino's pair of 400-foot-plus drives gave him two multi-homer games this season, three for his career and upped his season total to 17. He entered with just one hit in his previous 16 at-bats. Seth Lugo (7-5) tossed six innings, allowing two runs on four hits. The right-hander stuck out six and walked two before three relievers wrapped up the win. The 35-year-old Perez has five homers in his last five games and cracked three in the series to give him a team leading 18. Chicago's Colin Rea (8-4) was tagged with six runs, five earned, on six hits in five innings, ending his four-start winning streak. Pasquantino drove his second homer off Rea's full-count down-the-middle curve in the fifth to up the Royals lead to 6-2. Tolbert put it out of reach in the sixth, making it 8-2 with a drive off reliever Drew Pomeranz. Tolbert left the game in the bottom of the eighth. Rea had allowed only five runs over 23 2/3 innings in his four previous starts for an ERA of 1.90. Royals RHP Michael Wacha (4-9, 3.62 ERA) faces Guardians RHP Gavin Williams (6-4, 3.54) on Friday in Kansas City.
