Kansas City Royals outfielder Kyle Isbel had a memorable game in the team's 10-7 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. He went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored. The home run was the first of his career. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut on Opening Day this year and kicked off his big league career with a pair of multi-hit efforts. He struggled after that and was demoted to Triple-A in late April. He was recalled by the team this past Sunday after Michael A. Taylor was placed on the family medical emergency list. Isbel may not stay up in the majors much longer unless he can have a few more games like he did on Tuesday.
