Solo homer as cleanup hitter McBroom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Twins. Impact McBroom was up in the cleanup spot against a lefty (Devin Smeltzer). While he went hitless against Smeltzer, McBroom homered off righty Matt Wisler in the sixth to break a 2-2 tie, his second homer of the season. McBroom has started three of the Royals' last four games with Franchy Cordero (wrist) sidelined, but he still projects for a short-side platoon role when the team is closer to full strength.
