(MLB.com Kansas City Royals)

Eric Hosmer, one of several Royals who will be a free agent following the season, got a standing ovation before his first at-bat Sunday -- and then hit a home run to further delight the crowd. He and impending free agents Mike Moustakas, Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain -- who are impending free agents -- may have played their last game for the Royals.
