Bobby Witt - Reaches 20-homer mark Witt went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI in Thursday's 7-1 victory over Detroit.
Impact Witt did most of his damage late in the contest, belting a solo homer in the eighth inning and adding a run-scoring double in the ninth. The long ball was Witt's 20th of the campaign, a mark he's now reached in each of his first three big-league seasons. Witt also has 24 thefts, making him one of four major-leaguers to reach the 20-20 mark thus far.

Maikel Garcia - Notches two thefts in victory Garcia went 1-for-5 with a run and two stolen bases in a 7-1 win against the Tigers on Thursday.
Impact Garcia made the most of his lone trip on the basepaths, following his first-inning single with a pair of thefts before coming home to score. The infielder is up to 27 stolen bases on the campaign, sixth-most in the majors. Garcia is batting just .237 this season, but he's been much better than that for nearly a month, hitting .302 over 63 at-bats since July 7.

Vinnie Pasquantino - Slugs two homers Thursday Pasquantino went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in a 7-1 win against the Tigers on Thursday.
Impact Pasquantino drove in more than half of the Royals' runs in the victory, belting a three-run shot in the first inning and a solo blast in the eighth. The first baseman had gone 17 contests without homering before he went deep Wednesday, and he's now swatted three long balls over his past two games. Pasquantino also has seven multi-hit performance over his past 11 contests and is slashing .413/.438/.652 with 13 RBI during that span.

Seth Lugo - Excellent in 13th victory Lugo (13-5) earned the win over Detroit on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three batters over eight innings.
Impact Lugo didn't allow any extra-base hits and gave up just a fourth-inning run en route to his 13th victory of the campaign. He's now tied with Atlanta's Chris Sale and Baltimore's Grayson Rodriguez for the league lead in that category. Lugo has alternated good and poor starts of late -- he yielded five runs over five frames July 13 and six runs over 6.1 innings July 27, but in between was a one-run complete-game performance versus the White Sox on July 21.
