Melednez singles in loss to Twins
MJ Melendez went 1-for-3 with a single on Monday in the Royals’ loss to the Twins. It’s been a struggle this season at the dish for Melendez as he’s batting just .179 (27-for-151) with four homers and two steals through 47 games. Perhaps the biggest concern here is that he hasn’t connected for a home run since back on April 19.
Larnach slugs three-run homer
Trevor Larnach slugged a three-run homer on Monday, powering the Twins to a – victory over the Royals. Larnach gave Minnesota a commanding five-run lead with a gargantuan 441-foot fifth-inning moonshot to right-center field off Royals starter Alec Marsh. It was the 27-year-old slugger’s first round-tripper since May 8. The absence of a true top-of-the-order table-setter has cracked the door open for Larnach to continue leading off against right-handed pitching, but he hasn’t produced enough yet to warrant consideration in shallow mixed leagues just yet.
