Yost approves of crowd cheering Cain's HR

KANSAS CITY -- While there was some debate on Kansas City talk radio and Twitter about how appropriate it was for fans on Tuesday night to cheer former Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain's home run, manager Ned Yost had no issue with that response.

Cain, now with the Brewers after signing an offseason free-agent contract worth $80 million, had been cheered several times earlier in the game, his first back at Kauffman Stadium. He then led off the seventh inning Tuesday night with a home run to right-center field, stretching a 4-2 lead into a 5-2 advantage.
