Infante's single in 9th lifts Royals over Angels
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Omar Infante delivered another big hit against the Angels, singling home the winning run with one out in the ninth inning that lifted the Kansas City Royals over Los Angeles 5-4 Sunday.
Lorenzo Cain hit three doubles for the Royals, finishing with four hits and two RBIs.
An error by second baseman Howie Kendrick set up the game-ending hit by Infante, whose grand slam Friday night helped beat the Angels.
Infante's single came against Los Angeles newcomer Jason Grilli (0-3). Pittsburgh traded its former closer to the Angels on Friday.
Alex Gordon was hit by a pitch with one out in the Kansas City ninth. Salvador Perez followed with a grounder to shortstop Erick Aybar, but his throw glanced off Kendrick's error and sent Gordon to third Infante followed with his single.
Kole Calhoun led off the game with a home run against Jeremy Guthrie. The
Angels added another run in the first on Cain's error in right field, and Los Angeles took a 3-0 lead into the fourth.
Albert Pujols opened the Angels sixth with a hit to left field and tried to stretch it into a double. He jogged into second, didn't slide and was thrown out by Gordon.
Aybar homered later in the inning to make it 4-all.
After the Angels loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh, Kelvin Herrera was summoned to face Pujols and retired him on a fly ball.
The Royals won challenges in the third and fifth inning and both resulted in double plays being converted.
Cain's two-run double highlighted a four-run fourth off C.J. Wilson.
Wilson faced 22 batters and 12 reached base seven hits, four walks and a hit batter in 3 2/3 innings. Angels starting pitchers combined for only 11 2/3 innings in the three-game series to create a work overload for the bullpen.
