Royals' Alex Gordon: Lines laser for homer

Gordon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Tigers on Saturday.

His laser left the yard quickly as he pulled a down-and-in breaking pitch from right-hander Jordan Zimmermann over the right-field fence. Prior to Saturday's action, Gordon had put together a .295 average with seven doubles and 14 RBI in 16 games since moving to the three hole. The 34-year-old's season-long .246/.327/.371 slash line -- with 12 homers and 51 RBI -- doesn't look all that impressive overall, but he's scorched opposing pitching lately to elevate it to that level and should remain in most fantasy lineups while he's on a tear.
