Kyle Isbel hit his first grand slam, Bobby Witt Jr. added a three-run home run and the Kansas City Royals routed the Detroit Tigers 12-2 on Saturday night.

Nick Pratto and MJ Melendez also homered for the Royals. It’s the first time since at least 1906 that four first-year players on the same team have homered in the same game.

Nate Eaton had four hits and drove in two runs. Every player in the Kansas City lineup had at least one hit.

Royals pitcher Jonathan Heasley (3-7) gave up two earned runs and eight hits, with two walks and two strikeouts in seven innings.

Tucker Barnhart hit his first home run of the season for Detroit. Tigers starter Michael Pineda (2-7) allowed five runs and six hits with three strikeouts and two walks in four innings.

Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. reached the 20-20 mark for home runs and stolen bases. He’s the fifth first-year player in major league history to accomplish the feat and fifth Kansas City player to have a 20-20 season.
