Royals’ Gavin Cross Hits Pair of Home Runs

Double-A Northwest Arkansas outfielder Gavin Cross went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs in Northwest Arkansas’ 8-7 loss to Amarillo on Thursday. It was the second multi-home run game of Cross’ pro career, and his first in just under two years–Cross had homered twice for Low-A Columbia on Aug. 17, 2022. Cross’ 2023 season was derailed by Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, but this year, he’s regained his strength. Cross is hitting .275/.356/.437 with 12 home runs and 23 steals (in 25 attempts) for the Naturals.
