Frazier went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win against the White Sox.

BOTTOM LINE: The Kansas City Royals, on a five-game home winning streak, host the Texas Rangers. Kansas City has a 65-61 record overall and a 35-29 record in home games. Royals hitters are batting a collective .246, which ranks eighth in the AL.

It may have been a head-scratching move at the time, but the Kansas City Royals have been rewarded for bringing Adam Frazier back ahead of the trade deadline.
