Pena jr's Offense AND Defense Penalizes the Phillies for Interleague Series Win

Tony Peña Jr. hit his first home run in 235 at-bats, he moved runners into scoring position twice with his bunts and batted 2 for 2!!! He was most proud though of a tremendous defensive play that saw him dashing right, reaching down to corral a hard hit shot by Aaron Rowand. It was fantabulous. He went to his right on a speeding grounder and made an off-balance throw from shallow left field to retire Aaron Rowand. Shot Down!

The Royals also broke loose for fourteen hits, handcuffing five of the Phillies pitchers, from Moyer to Mesa to Rosario and everyone in between! It was a beautiful day.

Tony Peña had one of his finest games as a Royal in the team’s 17-5 trifling of the Phillies on Sunday. The capper was his 379-foot homer to left. It was a beautiful day.
