Francese Connects for 3 Homers for Royals Tuesday, August 14th , 2029 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Coors Field after the hitting barrage from Rich Francese. The Kansas City Royals dropped the contest 7-6 to the Colorado Rockies, leaving Francese with only a historical footnote as consolation. Rich is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Kansas City manager David Vazquez said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Francese went 3-for-4 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Rich Francese hit a two-run home run off Scott Manning in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Scott Manning in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Josh Bastien in the 5th, walked in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th. So far this year Francese has hit .301 with 28 home runs, 72 RBIs and 65 runs scored. |
