Kendrys keeps swinging red-hot bat vs. Cards
Statcast measures the exit velocity and projected distance of Kendrys Morales' 8th-inning home run to left fieldST. LOUIS -- The problem with analyzing Royals right fielder Kendrys Morales right now is trying to single out which statistic overwhelms you the most.
With two doubles and a monstrous home run in a 4-2 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night, Morales continued his sizzling tear.
Let's start with what Morales did in the four-game I-70 Series with the Cards: 12-for-16 (.750).
Or, you can go back over the last six games -- Morales had multiple hits in each one of them, and went 16-for-24 in that stretch.
How about his last 15 starts? Morales hit .491 in those (28-for-57).
