MILWAUKEE
The hoodie-clad denizens of the Kansas City dugout rose to greet a man who made history. Chris Young lumbered through the group as he accepted high-fives and fist-bumps. He had just cracked a sixth-inning single, his second of the game. In a 7-2 victory in which Young utterly dominated the Milwaukee Brewers, he became the first Royals pitcher to collect three RBI in a game since the advent of the designated hitter.
In truth, this period of time only measures the years after 1997, when interleague play arrived. The last Royals pitcher to match this feat was Steve Busby on Sept.
