Royals Set MLB Record with Seven Home Runs in Victory

The Kansas City Royals, previously last in the majors in home runs, shattered their franchise record by hitting seven homers in an 11-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, with Maikel Garcia leading the charge with his first career multi-homer game. Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino, Jonathan India, Luke Maile, and Michael Massey also contributed to the power surge, with Massey's ninth-inning blast setting the club record. The game featured a remarkable total of 11 home runs, including four by the Orioles, and marked the first time in MLB history that the first 10 homers in a game were all solo shots. Kansas City’s offensive outburst helped them secure their first regular-season series win in Baltimore since 2014 and their first season series win over the Orioles since 2018. The Royals’ sudden display of power was especially notable given their previous struggles hitting home runs, and it moved them up from last place in the league’s home run rankings. The win capped a strong road trip for the Royals as they look to maintain momentum in their upcoming home stand.
