Nicky Lopez Tallies Two Hits, Drives In Run On Tuesday
3 years agoKansas City Royals middle infielder Nicky Lopez had a solid game at the plate in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI while hitting out of the ninth spot in the lineup. This was Lopez's first multi-hit game since May 13, despite being in the lineup more often than not over the past month. With Adalberto Mondesi back from the injured list, Lopez should see his playing time decrease going forward. Over 60 games this year, Lopez is slashing .235/.330/.309 with six stolen bases, 12 RBI and 26 runs. His plate discipline has been his best attribute as his 13.5% strikeout rate ranks in the 93rd percentile.
