Mike Moustakas committed three errors in Thursday's loss to Detroit, including one that should have sent the game to the 10th. Moustakas bobbled a double-play ball in a tie game in the bottom of the ninth and got no outs as a result. Not only was Moustakas dreadful defensively today, be he went 2-for-15 offensively as the Royals were swept in the four-game series. He's a lifetime .215 hitter with just one homer and a 21/1 K/BB ratio in 107 at-bats versus the Tigers.

Mike Moustakas finished 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 9-4 win over the White Sox. Moustakas hit an RBI single in the bottom of the third inning and a three-run bomb in the bottom of the eighth. The young third baseman has a weak .308 on-base percentage through 110 games played this season, but he'll top 20 homers and should climb over 70 RBI. That's nice production for a 23-year-old.
