Mike Moustakas flipped his bat to the ground and put his head down as another baseball soared through the sky, creating a parabola in the humid night air. As it reached its destination in the right-field bullpen, bouncing once and greeting a group of White Sox relievers, the Royals’ dugout could sense the moment. Salvador Perez slapped the padding of the dugout rail as his face formed a megawatt smile. Danny Duffy screamed in delight as a crowd of 34,088 inside Kauffman Stadium let out a collective sound: Moooooose.

In a 7-2 victory over the White Sox on Saturday night, Moustakas delivered the decisive shot, a 375-foot solo blast off Chicago reliever David Holmberg that propelled the Royals to a fourth-straight victory.
