While it wasn’t a great performance, it’s nice to see Kendrys get rewarded for hitting the ball hard. An earlier article by Kings of Kauffman staff writer Bryon Parmon showed that Morales has actually more hard hit balls than last season, with poor results.

Kendrys Morales is hitting a mere .195/.246/.333 on the season, even after Wednesday night’s good game. Here’s to hoping that the dinger gets Morales going.

Morales poor start has been a big part of the KC Royals early-season funk. As a switch hitter, he’s a key piece in the middle of the Kansas City Royals lineup that is bullpen specialist proof. The KC Royals REALLY need to get him going for their offense to return to normal.
