Royals, Last in MLB in Home Runs, Erupt for Franchise Dinger Record vs. Orioles
The Royals were born in the pitcher-friendly season of 1969, and have acted that way ever since. Until 2017, the team's single-season home run record was 36. It's still "only" 48, set by designated hitter and right fielder Jorge Soler in 2019 and tied by designated hitter and catcher Salvador Perez in 2021.
