Goes yard in four-RBI effort
Loftin went 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-7 win over the Tigers.
Analiz
Making his sixth straight start, Loftin piled up a season-high-tying four RBI on Sunday. With Maikel Garcia on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, Loftin has a chance to maintain an everyday role at third base for the time being. For the campaign, the utility player is slashing .238/.332/.387 with a career-high six homers, 20 doubles, 40 RBI and 35 runs scored across 332 plate appearances.

Steps back into regular role
Loftin will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Analiz
Though he looked poised to move back into a utility role after the Royals reinstated Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia from the injured list Monday, Loftin has since settled back into a near-everyday role after Garcia went back on the shelf Friday due to a hamstring strain. Loftin will collect his sixth straight start Sunday after going 2-for-14 with a double, a triple, four walks and an RBI over the previous five contests.
