Rhys Hoskins was just feeling it.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, April 8, the Cleveland Guardians played host to the Kansas City Royals to cap off the two sides’ series. The Guardians and Royals were tied, 1-1, with the Guardians taking Tuesday’s matchup. With a head full of steam and momentum surging, Hoskins helped lead the offense to an impressive 16 total hits on the game, which helped pull off a 10-2 victory over the Royals. <\/a><\/p>\n Hoskins himself contributed three, all of which were doubles, for a career-best performance. <\/p>\n “Yeah, Rhys is a professional hitter,” Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said following the three-double performance from Hoskins. “The patience, the lack of chase, the ability to think along with pitches, and the ability to go through the Rolodex of what he sees. A lot of those at-bats, he\u2019s ready to go. Swings at the right pitches. Just having him in the middle of the order really makes the lineup longer. <\/p>\n “He\u2019s getting on base unbelievably. Like a day like today, three doubles, that\u2019s pretty cool.”<\/p>\n #Guardians<\/a> manager Stephen Vogt on Rhys Hoskins’ day at the plate:<\/p>\n “Yeah, Rhys is a professional hitter.
