KANSAS CITY -- The skillset of Royals future shortstop Adalberto Mondesi was on full display on Tuesday night.
You want defense? Mondesi made a brilliant lunging, spinning play up the middle in the second inning to throw out a runner. You want offense? Mondesi recorded his first career four-hit game, which included two doubles. Speed? Mondesi had his first career three-steal game.
Mondesi's fingerprints were all over what was appearing to be a comeback victory. But reliever Blaine Boyer served up a hanging curveball to Kevin Pillar, who ripped a two-run home run in the eighth inning that powered the Blue Jays to a 6-5 win at Kauffman Stadium in a game delayed 31 minutes at the start because of rain.
