Zach McKinstry News: Knocks big homer

Updated on July 4, 2025 at 11:50pm

McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.

McKinstry has seen a more reliable, consistent role since the injury to Kerry Carpenter (hamstring), and he rewarded his team with what turned out to be the game-winning homer Friday. The 30-year-old McKinstry now has six home runs as part of a season in which he is slashing .289/.361/.462 with eight doubles and 26 RBI.
