Edward Olivares Hitting Second Tuesday
2 years agoKansas City Royals outfielder Edward Olivares is starting Tuesday's game and hitting out of the two-hole as he takes on the Toronto Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Tuesday marks the third start of the season for Olivares but the first out of the two-spot, as he has hit sixth and ninth in his first two games of the season. This is perhaps a sign that he will be moved up in the order against left-handed pitching despite the fact the righty swinging 27-year-old has fared much better against same-handed pitching to this point in his career. Olivares is 2-for-6 with a home run and two RBI across seven trips to the plate on the young season.
