Pasquantino went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-9 loss against the Tigers.
Pasquantino was held hitless through his first four at-bats before breaking through in the ninth inning with a 412-foot solo shot off Connor Seabold to extend the lead. The homer was Pasquantino's first of the season and provided a small bright spot amid a difficult start to the year. The 28-year-old is now slashing .155/.244/.239 with nine RBI and five runs scored across 82 plate appearances.

Pasquantino went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Guardians.
Pasquantino went hitless, reaching base only once via a walk in the eighth inning, though nothing came of it in a low-scoring loss for the Royals. After hitting three homers in six games for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic, Pasquantino has gotten off to a slow start to the regular season, slashing .195/.306/.220 through 11 games. While the sample is far too small to raise significant long-term concern, Kansas City could opt to give Pasquantino an off day soon to allow him to reset after starting every game to open the year.
