And why not? Morales slammed three home runs and a triple and scored five times in the Royals' much-needed victory over the Tigers.
"Unbelievable day," a relieved Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He just had a fantastic day. And so did [Christian] Colon with four hits. It all gave [Kris] Medlen some breathing room and that was good because he was grinding. But just a great day for Kendrys."
Morales hit a homer in the third, fourth and eighth innings, becoming the first Royals hitter to have three homers in a game since Danny Tartabull in 1991.
