"I know this will pass," Jac Caglianone told The Star, later adding, "It's all part of it. There are plenty of better days ahead."

That power flashed big-time on Wednesday, when he crushed a 466-foot homer over the batter's eye off Pittsburgh Pirates starter Bailey Falter. The long ball, measured at 110.8 mph off the bat, put the Royals up 3-0. It was the fourth homer in 32 games of Caglianone's career.
