Dairon and the Yellow Crayon | Blanco's Blasts Power Royals to Series Win.

The Royals sent Michael Wacha to the mound after taking the series-opener vs. the Reds and received a strong performance, as Wacha recorded a quality start striking out 9 over 6.0 scoreless innings. The Royals offense was catalyzed by a career night from Dairon Blanco, who made the most of his start by blasting a two-run home run in the 2nd inning followed by his first career grand slam in the 3rd inning. Blanco would go on to drive in another run in the 4th inning giving him a season and career-high 7 RBIs on the night. Five other Royals pitched in RBIs on the evening, highlighted by a 7-run 3rd inning. Angel Zerpa, Chris Stratton, and Carlos Hernández closed out the final three frames in relief of Wacha, giving the Royals a third straight win and securing the series in Cincinnati.

I was at the game last night. I’m a KC Royals fan it was an awesome grand slam!

[@Whaddupdoe417]

Dairon blanco with 7 RBIs and a grand slam?? Send that crayon bat to cooperstown

[@80sClassicMovieClips]

what a game to watch. their bats were on fire! It wasn't just Blanco, it was a major team assault

[@chrismccray361]

Salvy comming in clutch often ❤2 see it.

[@isaofujita2119]

Dairon Blanco: I always look forward to his running ability, but he showed off with two home runs and seven RBIs. Teams with active lower-ranked batting lineups are strong. I look forward to seeing them again.

Happy birthday go royals

[@marknorthrup4897]

So, that was fun to watch! Blanco was such a good acquisition. Wacha was amazing and the Royals need to push this run into about an eight win run and secure their entry into the playoffs. Cleveland is fading and the Twins are our main impediment to our division title. I wonder what the best worst record recoveries in are in the majors? Are we in the running for the best improvement ever?

[@Rybjr6y5b]

Yes, we’d join the 2016-17 twins to be the only team to lose 100 games in one year and make playoffs the next

[@DailyDylanDreier]

Considering how many guys KC has playing consistently that are barely hitting .200, where has this guy been? He hasn't played in nearly 2 weeks while so many seem lost at the plate. Renfro got his first hits since like July last night. Great game Dairon

[@brentmiller2256]

It would have been funny if during the steroid era, Mark McGuire went up to the plate with a hypodermic needle bat

Corked crayon? 🖍️😂
