Carter Jensen Ties Royals Rookie Home Run Record in Loss

Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen hit a solo home run around the Pesky Pole in a 5-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The home run tied Bob Hamelin's Royals rookie record of 24 in a season and Bobby Witt Jr.'s rookie extra-base hit mark. Jensen also set an expansion-era record for consecutive hits going for extra bases by a rookie catcher, accounting for Kansas City's only run of the contest.
