Kendrys Morales managed to implement this slump solution on Tuesday night, by smacking his sixth home run with one on and two out in the sixth inning. For those of you wondering if there was a third six (perhaps the man on base was Lorenzo Cain who wears no. 6), I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Morales’ bomb extended the Royals lead from 8-4 to 10-4, which really put the game out of reach. Along with his home run, Morales add a single to enjoy his first two-hit game since May 14. Notice that rookie Whit Merrifield has had six two-hit games and he didn’t even join the club until May 18.

Overall, Morales’ 2-5, 1 R, 3 RBI line was a refreshing change from the all too many 0-fers that he’s been posting this season. Kendrys Morales slash line zoomed to .193/.262/.330 with the big night.
