Three dongs and D power Royals to 6-1 win over Detroit

Cain comes a triple short of the cycle, and Hosmer and Moustakas join the dong show.

That is an entirely true statement.

The Detroit Tigers managed a scant two hits over the course of six innings while facing the Royals' Opening Day starter. Other than a Tyler Collins single and a Jefry Marte double (both coming in the fourth inning), the Tigers were left relying upon the kindness of the Royals defense if they hoped to reach safely by balls put in play.

One time in the second inning, Ben Zobrist was so kind as to oblige James McCann on a grounder that he fielded on a short hop and bounced off the heel of his glove back toward second base.
