Taking a break from their usual small-ball style, the Kansas City Royals flexed their muscles during an unprecedented display of power. The Royals smashed a franchise-record seven home runs Sunday in an 11-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

The Royals had a major league-low 18 home runs in 34 games. In nine innings against the Orioles, they hit a franchise-record seven home runs.

After a sluggish start to the 2025 season, the Kansas City Royals are heating up. They wrapped up April on a high note, winning eight of their last nine games. That momentum has carried into May, where they’ve claimed victory in three of their first four matchups.
