Royals' Lorenzo Cain: Blasts first homer in almost two months Friday

Cain went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and two runs in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Red Sox.

Analysis:

The slugging outfielder was on base early and often Friday and added an eighth-inning solo shot for good measure. The homer had special significance, considering it was Cain's first since back on May 31 against the Rays. He's put together a solid August, slashing .310/.351/.437 with six doubles and 14 RBI over 87 at-bats.
