FACT/FLUKES: Morales, Reddick, T. Walker, LaRoche, Owens

Morales rejuvenated in KC ... The Royals, owners of the league's second-best record, can owe much of their recent success to the maturation of their home-grown talent. But they've gotten some unexpected help from the outside this year in the form of a rejuvenated Kendrys Morales (DH, KC), who has become only the second Royal since 2004 to drive in more than 100 runs.
