If there is one string of hope Royals fans can pull out of a dismal 5-15 start to the 2018 season, it is this:
Third baseman Mike Moustakas is hitting the baseball hard at a rate more consistent than ever.
While the phenomenon itself won’t solve all the Royals’ problems, it does make it more likely for Moustakas to get a hit, which he has done in 14 consecutive games, and rack up bases in the box score.
It happened on Friday, when Moustakas uncorked an effortless swing at Comerica Park in the first game of a doubleheader against the Tigers.
