Luke Maile and Jonathan India , who both played the 2024 MLB season with the Cincinnati Reds , homered Sunday for the Kansas City Royals , which hit a franchise-record seven home runs in an 11-6 win against the Baltimore Orioles .

It was the first homer as a Royal for both players. It was Maile 's first game for Kansas City. The Covington Catholic High School grad was recalled May 2 from Triple-A Omaha.

The Royals entered Sunday with an MLB-low 18 home runs through their first 34 games.

Kansas City acquired India from Cincinnati last November with Joey Wiemer for pitcher Brady Singer .

The Reds are scheduled to visit the Royals in Kansas City for a three-game series Monday, May 26 through Wednesday, May 28.
