For one weekend at least, the fun returned to Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals swept the Minnesota Twins, capped by a 5-3 win on Sunday that was highlighted by the speed of catcher Drew Butera.
Thanks to an ill-timed dive by the Twins’ Jake Cave, Butera was able to round the bases for a three-run homer in the seventh inning that broke a 2-2 tie.
According to Baseball Savant, the ball off the bat had a 67 percent chance of being a hit, had a launch angle of 16 degrees, an exit velocity of 91.
