Franco lifts Royals in 9th; Moss, Orlando homer

"Mossy was really seeing it today," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Three knocks. He made a little adjustment with his head in his stance, and it helped today."

Brandon Moss launches a two-run home run to left-center, giving the Royals a 4-1 lead in the 4th inning

The Angels opened the scoring on Albert Pujols' run-scoring groundout in the first, but the Royals seized a 4-1 lead when Orlando and Moss homered off right-hander JC Ramirez. Whit Merrifield's RBI double made it 5-1 in the fifth, but the Angels erased the deficit with a six-run outburst in the bottom half of the inning, capped by Jefry Marte's go-ahead, bases-clearing double.
