Nick Dini Knocks Two Hits On Thursday
5 years agoKansas City Royals catcher Nick Dini doubled and singled in Thursday's game against the Tigers, giving him his first multi-hit game of his career. Dini's only hitting .200 so far, but he's got an on-base percentage that is approaching .300 and has had a knack for scoring runs, crossing the plate nine times in his last nine games. Dini was quite a successful hitter in Triple-A this season, so the team has high hopes for what he can do at the major league level. That said, it's a short tryout as All-Star Salvador Perez is expected back next spring. Hopefully, Dini can take full advantage of his month in the bigs this year and be ready to be the team's backup next season.
