KANSAS CITY -- The Royals were unable to send Mike Moustakas off with a win in what could be his final home game at Kauffman Stadium.
Moustakas went 2-for-5 with an RBI in an 8-4 loss to the Tigers in the rubber game on Wednesday afternoon. With the Royals now heading on the road until Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, Moustakas' name has been prominent in trade rumors among contending clubs.
The slugging third baseman reached in his first at-bat with a single, and after Whit Merrifield stole second in the fifth, Moustakas knocked him in with a double.
