The Royals lost to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday to remain 2.5 games back in the wild card race, but Vinnie Pasquantino put together a solid offensive performance.
Wednesday, August 20, 2025, 6:40 PM CDT (105.3 The Fan / Rangers Sports Network) Philadelphia's starting pitchers combined for 34 strikeouts while their team collected 48 hits across three wins over the Seattle Mariners. Garrett faced media on Wednesday for the first time since accruing his eighth speeding ticket since joining the Browns in 2017.
Vinnie Pasquantino homered in the first inning and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers.
Pasquantino, who has been red-hot at the plate, delivered a three-run home run in the top of the first inning against Texas Rangers opener Caleb Boushley. But the Kansas City bats went cold from there, and disaster struck in the top of the ninth inning.
