For nearly three years, no one had witnessed a scene like the one that unfolded Saturday evening at Kauffman Stadium.
With two outs and a one-run Royals lead in what became a 4-3 loss to the White Sox, it would have been hard to predict. Especially with a nip in the air and the wind chill settling in the 30s.
How long had it been, anyway, since Mike Moustakas hit a triple?
Yet there Moustakas was, putting his barrel on a 3-1 fastball left smack in the middle of the strike zone by White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito.
