Nick Pratto

Yesterday afternoon's meeting between the Kansas City Royals and the Toronto Blue Jays saw Royals call-up first baseman Nick Pratto notch the first home run of his Major League Baseball career. In the second inning of the contest, Pratto connected with a pitch from Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios, sending the ball over the right-field wall and extending his Club's lead to two. Although the Royals eventually took home a 4-2 loss, their call-up's first-career home run gave the Club's fans something to celebrate.
