The Royals may have lost yesterday 7-3, but the defense of the KC Royals outfield once again came through! Jeff Francoeur, the Royals’ awesome right fielder, took a home away from Dustin Ackley with his spectacular grab over the fence. The catch of Ackley’s drive came in the third inning but then in the fourth [...]
