The Royals lost to Oakland, 14–5, on Sept. 15 at Kauffman Stadium, their fourth straight loss.
One of the bright spots in that game for Kansas City was Christian Colon, who hit his first career home run in the Royals’ five-run ninth inning. The homer was a three-run shot, making Colon the first Royal to have his first career HR plate three runs since Aaron Guiel on June 26, 2002.
The only Royal ever to have his first career HR be a grand slam is Paul Phillips, who did so on Aug.
