Vinnie’s Career Night | Royals Light Up the Scoreboard on the 4th of July
Left hander Eduardo Rodriguez, who continues to pitch very well since returning at the beginning of June after some shoulder trouble coming off a no decision against the Marlins. His last time out gave up only one run on four hits over five and one third struck out six Marlins hitters in that ball game. He has been on point around the edges of the strike zone. India, a former rookie of the year winner back with the Reds. A 2021 hasn’t recaptured the magic though since that first season and that nicked India. So he’s hit for the third time on the trip. The Royals had the lead off man on to start the ball game and that brings up Bobby Junior. There’s a base hit to extend that road hitting streak to 24 games and the Royals have two on with nobody out last night. He broke the Royals franchise record for consecutive road games with a hit. Now he’s extended it and now runners on 1st and 2nd with nobody out for Pasin right field. Nothing Royals right out of the game. The first inning three run homer for Sino Q, the fourth of July fireworks. Early tonight it’s 30 Royals in the top of the first inning. And now chris Bubic, whose, er, a is the sixth, lowest in the major leagues has a three run lead before he throws his first pitch and that’s a rarity for him used to this year, not having a lot of run support, but he take that on the first one but pops it up the right field line. Aglio is over there and it drops in for a hit. Kells halfway to second. Nobody’s covering the bag and he’s back safely past and were both trying to chase that down in short. Right. B never covered the base. Kell was a deck duck but he got back there and now here is Perdomo with a man on and nobody out as a 31 and that is outside ball four and another walk to the column. Vesia Fermin wants it tough play and end time on a stretch by Vinny. Wow, man, I’ll tell you what if that plays not made cleanly. That could have been trouble. That ball goes down that line and that’s going to give them some runs. 22 is head out to center Sean rave out there deep enough to get to Taho Perdomo Tanks as well. RB I 71 for Geno when the Diamondbacks are on the board brings up Josh Naylor, a familiar face in a different jersey. Fourth of July and there’s more fireworks. Naylor drives in. Number two will score and the back are two within one. It’s now 3 to 2 in the bottom of the first Naylor runs but will get a strikeout waves and comes up empty. Has his first, the Royals have a 3 to 2 lead over the Diamondbacks and runners on 1st and 2nd with nobody out. Baylor is weighing at first in the event that India bunts and he does, he bunts toward third hesitation. You want to make the third baseman come off the bag and move the runners over but he did exactly what he was supposed to do. Sacrifice for Junior gets it down in right field, moves up one base and the Royals are out to a 42 lead and Bobby Wood Junior is two for two and that’s lined to center field and Tawa did he trap it? Yes. Oh, and the Royals will get another run. Vinny pass. Quentin’s on at first. He’s already got his fourth RB I in the game and the Royals have a five to two lead on the ground. Perdomo got a glove on it out at second base. No double play and the Royals get another run. Salvi’s safe and he scores. It’s now 6 to 2 in the top of the second inning. Right now. The Diamondbacks are trailing Chris Bubic and the Royals six to two and Mark Wegner maybe missed one there and Prado has been up twice in a walk that was the case that time Lourdes chops at this one. It drops into right center PDO with a big turn and he’s into third standing up. They’re on the corners to start. Well, here is a sack fly his first time up. He’s got 71 RBS. He’s got a runner at third. Cag Leone might get a chance to throw. Bedo is going to tag and Cag Leone ended up on his heels. And fortunately, the scouting report may have saved the Diamondbacks a run. He might challenge Gaglione out there in right field. We know he’s got a big arm but he was backpedaling a little bit as he made the catch in right field. Second base one junior back to first inning over failed to score right now. The Diamondbacks, unfortunately trailing the Royals six to two. Here’s Vinny who’s already driven in four runs tonight. A three run homer in the first, an RB I single in the second and that’s crushed deep right center field and he has a two home run six RB I night in the first four innings and the Royals lead it eight to two. Red hot pass was my goodness. He’s on it and all over Rodriguez Michael Garcia deep left center Tawas at the wall and it hits the very top of that corner and deepest left center field. Here’s Michael to third and he is going to be safe. Umpires will gather together. Now, here’s a look looked like the throw, beat him to third base. Oh, yeah. After review, the call in the field is overturned, the runner is out. I the Royals lead it 8 to 2. They hit Arizona 11 to 4 and we’re only in the fourth inning. Strikes out same pitch that got him with in the first inning and gets him this time on three pitches. It has been a time of dream so far tonight for the Royals 8 to 2 lead over the Diamondbacks. We start the and that is pounded deep left field and Mark Canna has his first home run as a royal another no Doubter. The Royals coming here to the desert bringing their home run bats liner to center Taa coming in t he’s got it and the inning comes to an end. The Royals though, add another Royals lead the Diamondbacks 9 to 2 and Geno Suarez leads off the sixth inning. Geno Suarez is this number 28. New be fourth of July fireworks for Suarez. It’s another Geno home run. He’s got 28 on the season and the Diamondbacks get one back. It’s 9 to 3. Chris Bobi has worked six innings but the Royals want more from him tonight. He is going to come out to pitch the seventh inning and gurriel is jammed. India throws him out and Chris Bobi goes seven tonight, he’ll be an all star and he pitched like an all star tonight. 9 to 3 Royals 1st and 3rd for Tim Tawa and he chose baseball over football. Three Royals are there and it’s lofting. So Brian Sweeney works his magic left hander Sam Long is into the game to get the final three outs. The Royals lead the Diamondbacks 9 to 3 at chase field and now Herrera is down to the count zero and two right out of the gate. He gets a three pitch strikeout of Jose Herrera. Very nice breaking ball there. The 12 to Marte chopped down the line at third, a fair ball Garcia grabs it on the backhand throws across the diamond for the out to that is a swing and that is a 93 Royals win. Vinny Paso has one of the best games of his career. He has a two home run six RB I game. He did all of that by the way in the first four innings. A great way to start here in the desert.
Vinnie Pasquantino hits two home runs, making for a career night with 6 RBIs in a single game.

Vinnie hitting straight bombs on July 4th is so poetic. Bobby baseball was on point too. Could only imagine this offenses potential if we play like this consistently
