Coming into today, the Kansas City Royals had a major league-low 18 home runs in 34 games. In nine innings against the Orioles today, they’ve hit a franchise-record seven home runs.
Baseball will never make sense.
Quatraro on the value Fermín provides for the #Royals: "The big leagues are littered with guys that were never a prospect. Somebody told me a long time ago there are no prospects in the big leagues. There are big leaguers in the big leagues, and Freddy's a big leaguer.”
Bobby: "The fans are starting to come out. We're enjoying it. We're playing some ball, so we just gotta keep it going ... We were just trying to move the line, get to the next guy. We had a lot of great at-bats in there and the pitching staff and bullpen did their job." #Royals
Bobby soaks it all in after the #Royals walk-off win: "I don't know, what do y'all think? Pretty fun?"
"We're just trying to bring back what they did a couple years ago. The fans are showing out, so we gotta show out for them."
With this homer, the #Royals have recorded at least 1 extra-base hit in all 52 games this year. They are the only club to do that in 2024, and 52 consecutive games with 1+ XBH to start the season is a new club record, surpassing the 1978 Royals (51 G to start season).
