Kansas City Royals Fantasy Spin
Martin Maldonado slugged his fifth home run of the season on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to lead his club to victory over the Blue Jays. Maldonado swatted a solo shot off of Blue Jays’ starter Marcus Stroman in the fourth inning, increasing the Royals’ lead to 3-1. He finished the afternoon 1-for-3 and is now slashing .232/.301/.367 with five long balls and 16 RBI on the season.
Toronto Blue Jays Fantasy Spin
Danny Jansen blasted a walk-off, two-run homer on Saturday, propelling the Blue Jays to a 7-5 victory over the Royals. After the Royals had rallied to tie the score at 5-5 in the top half of the ninth inning, Jansen provided the dagger in the bottom half of the frame, sending a Scott Barlow offering over the wall in left-center for the game-winner. While it was a nice moment for the rookie backstop, he has had a very rough go at the plate this season, slashing just .188/.269/.290 with four homers and 20 RBI.
