Mondesi went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Saturday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Guardians.

His first hit of the season was of the walkoff variety, plating Kyle Isbel in the 10th inning. Through two games, Mondesi has hit seventh in the order -- the arrival of Bobby Witt has forced Mondesi down the lineup. The shortstop has also struck out in four of his seven plate appearances so far. The bigger concern is fewer opportunities to run for the 26-year-old, though the Royals again have a lineup that should embrace a bold strategy on the basepaths.
