MIke Moustakas homers twice as Royals knock of Padres on Sunday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas homered twice and tallied four RBI in the Royals' 8-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

What It Means:

Moustakas did his damage in his first and final at bats, cranking a three-run bomb in the first inning and adding a solo shot in the ninth for good measure. Moustakas has been heating up lately which is only going to help his trade value if the Royals want to go there with the impending free agent.

Our models project Moustakas for a .269 average, 17 home runs and 48 RBI over 340 plate appearances remaining this season.
