Royals win 7-4, regain crucial bullpen pieces

Luke Hochevar and Greg Holland made their returns today.

After a lengthy rain delay, the Royals took on the characteristics of that which causes a rain delay. A storm. They struck quickly, like lightning.

Kluber appeared not to have his best stuff at the beginning of the game. After a plunking of Alex Gordon, Mike Moustakas punched a grounder just to Carlos Santana's right at first base. The image below shows the defensive alignment. An interesting question: If Moose hadn't been doing so well hitting against the shift, would the Indians have placed a defender in shallow RF?
