The Royals now have hit 48 home runs, putting them on pace for 177 this season. That would shatter the club record of 168 set in 1987.
That 1987 Royals team was led by Danny Tartabull's 34 home runs. Steve Balboni, who holds the club record for dingers in a season with 36 in '85, hit 24 in '87. Bo Jackson and George Brett hit 22 each.
This year's Royals team is led by Salvador Perez's 11 home runs. Mike Moustakas has 10, and Brandon Moss has eight.
"We're starting to get some guys heating up, too," Yost said.
