The Kansas City Royals couldn’t stop hitting home runs as they demolished the Chicago Cubs 8-4 this afternoon at Wrigley Field.
The game started interestingly when leadoff man Adam Frazier hit a flyball deep down the right field line. I heard somebody yell “CAN OF CORN” on the broadcast a second before the ball clanked off Seiya Suzuki’s glove and hit the turf, giving Frazier a quasi-double. Maikel Garcia then bunted him over to third. The Cubs broadcast would later bemoan the decision of Kansas City’s OBP leader willingly getting himself out just to move a runner up, and Vinnie Pasquantino wasted no time rendering that bunt moot, crushing the first pitch he saw deep to right for a no-doubt homer.
