Royals' Mike Moustakas: Nails third home run
Moustakas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Houston.

Owners can't really complain, though, considering he's off to a blazing start. Moustakas is 8-for-23 (.348) while hitting safely in every game so far, including Saturday's contest in which he singled in his only at-bat as a pinch hitter.
