The Kansas City Royals have made strategic adjustments to boost their struggling offense by promoting Jac Caglianone and altering their batting order. After scoring only one run in their last 18 innings, manager Matt Quatraro moved Maikel Garcia to the three-hole to increase run production. Despite scoring 22 runs against the Cardinals, inconsistencies lingered, highlighted by a recent 7-2 loss to the White Sox, even after back-to-back homers from Garcia and Vinnie Pasquantino. The Royals seek balance and consistent production to strengthen their lineup moving forward.
We need balance and we need production up and down. It's nice when you get it from the middle of the order. You know, the two home runs got us the lead.
It's a little bit different getting used to not knowing that I'm up in the first inning. Just more opportunities to try to do my job.
He is hitting .311 with an .864 OPS to lead the team in both categories this season.
The Royals achieved the mark on May 4 against the Baltimore Orioles.
