Diamondbacks score early, even series with Royals Ketel Marte homered in left-hander Jordan Montgomery’s return as the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Kansas City Royals 6-2 on Tuesda...
Alec Marsh - Tagged for five runs in loss Marsh (7-7) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over five inning to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Impact Marsh's last outing was a one-inning relief appearance, presumably to get him some work just after the All-Star break. His return to a starting role didn't go very well, as he allowed at least five runs for the third time in his last seven appearances. The right-hander is now at a 4.75 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 90:31 K:BB through 96.2 innings over 19 appearances (18 starts) this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start on the road versus the White Sox, though Marsh would likely be in the most danger of losing his rotation spot if the Royals decide to add starting pitching before the trade deadline.

Vinnie Pasquantino - Tallies three hits Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Monday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Pasquantino hit an RBI single and scored on a Salvador Perez home run in the third inning. It's been a decent but unspectacular July for Pasquantino -- he's batting .274 (17-for-62) with two extra-base hits and nine RBI over 15 contests this month. He's up to a .252/.312/.419 slash line with 11 home runs, 64 RBI, 43 runs scored, 22 doubles and two triples over 97 games this season as the Royals' starting first baseman. His best asset in 2024 has been a 13.2 percent strikeout rate, which has likely helped him prevent extended cold spells at the plate.

Hunter Renfroe - Goes deep in Monday's win Renfroe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Renfroe tacked on a run in the fifth inning when he took Arizona reliever Miguel Castro deep. This was Renfroe's first homer since June 28, though he hit a strong .283 over the 16 games between long balls. The outfielder is at a .227/.305/.397 slash line with nine homers, 35 RBI, 31 runs scored, one stolen base and 15 doubles through 80 contests overall, though he's been trending in the right direction in July.

The catcher is batting .268 (15-for-56) with four homers and 14 RBI over 15 contests in July. For the year, he's been a reliable power bat in the heart of the lineup with a .279/.341/.475 slash line, 18 homers, 66 RBI, 41 runs scored and 16 doubles through 98 games.
