Lorenzo Cain, Jorge Bonifacio, Whit Merrifield and Mike Moustakas all homered in a nine-batter span in the seventh and eighth innings in Tuesday’s 6–2 win over the Yankees.
According to Elias, last night marked the fifth time in franchise history that the Royals have hit four HR in a nine-batter span and the first time since Mike Sweeney, Jermaine Dye, Raul Ibanez and Carlos Beltran all went deep over a five-batter span on June 29, 2001.
