| MLB News: Royals Third baseman Mike Moustakas Breaks Kansas City Royals Home Rrun Record |
| TORONTO — Mike Moustakas has become the Royals' all-time single-season home run king, hitting his 37th roundtripper of the year tonight off Carlos Ramirez of the Toronto Blue Jays. Moose's 37 home runs top Steve Balboni's 1985 total of 36, which stood as the club record for 32 seasons. Moose's stellar season has been one for the ages as he hit more home runs than any other Royals player before the All-Star break, clubbing 25 of them prior to the Midsummer Classic. He also became the third Royal to participate in the Home Run Derby, joining Bo Jackson (1989) and Danny Tartabull (1991). His 37th home run this season was also his 118th in a Royals uniform, one behind Balboni for 12th on the franchise's all-time list. |
