ALL THE DONGS
Jaylon Thompson covers Sunday’s win, where the Royals set a club record with seven home runs in a game.
“Pretty remarkable and good for them,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said of his team. “I mean, we have made so much of how we have struggled offensively and we keep talking about how they will break out of it.
“The guys continue to work, believe, trust each other and trust the hitting guys. And a day like that is really satisfying and they should be rewarded for it.”
He covers each home run in-depth.
Kansas City Royals infielder Jonathan India sprinted to first base. He wasn’t sure his fourth-inning line drive had any carry.
“I didn’t see it go out,” India said after Sunday’s game, an 11-6 KC victory at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
“I mean, the fence is so short. I was almost at second base when I saw the signal.”

“That’s fun for us,” Maikel Garcia said. “Like, we go there and play hard, hit our seven home runs for the first time in franchise [history], and that’s good for us.”
Pete Grathoff has more on the record-setting day.
The Royals and Orioles also tied an MLB record with ten total solo home runs.
“It’s a hitters’ park, we know that, generally,” Quatraro said. “But still, both teams squaring balls up like that — it was a fun game in some respects, and in other respects, it was very nerve-racking.”
