Last Wednesday’s game against the Texas Rangers, Maikel Garcia had himself a day.

At the plate, he blasted a three-run home run to give the Royals a lead they’d never relinquish, then later drove in the team’s insurance run on a nice poke to the opposite field that, with the assistance of some shoddy fielding, he turned into a triple, and then scored the team’s sixth and final run two batters later.

Maikel Garcia has quietly put together a really solid season so far.
