Moss is hitting .326 with four home runs and nine RBIs in 14 games in July. "I think you see him having much more relaxed at-bats, a lot more confidence in his at-bats," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He had some great swings in that last at-bat. I felt like he was going to find a pitch and drive it somewhere and he did, right down the line. It was a great at-bat. I knew with his track record and he still has his abilities, he's going to get hot somewhere down the line, and when he does we're going to ride it. Today was a good example of that."

1B-DH Brandon Moss replaced Eric Hosmer at first base and batted cleanup for the first time. "I'm not going to speak on other's people's personal stuff," Moss said of Hosmer's absence. "I'm just holding that spot for a day. Hosmer, that's his spot. I'm happy to be in the lineup. I'm going to try to continue this momentum that I'm building over the past couple of days and over the past month. Where you hit in the lineup isn't your decision. I don't write the lineup. I play wherever I am. Anytime I'm in the lineup, I just try to contribute." It was Moss' third time to start at first base. Moss moved to right field after Hosmer entered the game. "We've been waiting for him to get hot and he's swinging exceptionally well right now," Royals manager Ned Yost said.

"Obviously, it was not working out. It's not going to work every time. You're not going to get a hit every night, but just do something. That's my mindset right now."
