'That ball's gone, boys!' Danny Duffy called Whit Merrifield's homer on broadcast | The Kansas City Star

There were at least a few things to like about the first Royals' game that was shown on Facebook.

There were no commercials breaks and there was a well-timed in-game interview with left-hander Danny Duffy.

The interview began in the fifth inning with the Royals trailing the Blue Jays 4-2. Jon Jay led off the inning with a single, and Whit Merrifield followed with a towering two-run homer.

Duffy interrupted a story and said, "That ball's gone boys. That ball's out!"
