Dairon Blanco Homers Twice, Tallies Seven RBI
4 months agoKansas City Royals outfielder Dairon Blanco got a rare start on Saturday and made the most of it, homering twice and driving in seven runs during a 3-for-5 day at the plate in a 13-1 romp over the Reds. Blanco typically appears as a pinch-runner, and although he did not record a steal in Saturday's game, the speedster has 21 stolen bases on the season despite having just 111 plate appearances. If this performance somehow earns Blanco more playing time, he would quickly become an intriguing fantasy asset, as he easily has the highest stolen-bases-per-plate-appearances ratio of any player with at least 25 plate appearances using his 97th-percentile sprint speed.
