Wilyer David Abreu is set to showcase his impressive skills as the Boston Red Sox face off against the Kansas City Royals on May 10 at 7:10 p.m. ET at Kauffman Stadium. Abreu has been a standout player, boasting a slugging percentage of .600 over his last 10 games, including four home runs. This season, he is batting .273 with a team-leading nine home runs, placing him 11th in Major League Baseball for homers and 18th in runs batted in.
On the mound for the Royals will be Cole Ragans, a promising left-hander who has posted a 3.79 ERA with 57 strikeouts over 35 2/3 innings this season. Ragans, performing well against opponents with a .226 batting average against him, has shown he can handle offensive challenges, having pitched five scoreless innings in his most recent outing against the Chicago White Sox.
Despite the Royals’ pitchers allowing the sixth-fewest home runs in baseball this season, Abreu’s recent form suggests he could break through. He has homered in about 19% of his games this year and has had notable past matchups against Ragans.
