The Royals powered their way back from a deficit, then went ahead on a gift in a 9-8 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium.
The power was supplied by Mike Moustakas, who tied the game with a three-run homer in the fourth inning.
The gift was wrapped by Orioles third-baseman Manny Machado.
Alex Gordon was hit by a pitch and Drew Butera singled to open the fifth. Alcides Escobar put down a sacrifice bunt that was fielded by Machado, who wheeled and threw the ball to second base.
The only problem was nobody was covering the bag.
