Pinch running for Mike Moustakas, who singled with one out in the ninth inning, he slid past second base on a steal attempt. He was first called safe by ampire D.J. Reyburn, but once he went past it on his head first slide, he was called out.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jarrod Dyson made a crucial out on the basepaths.
"We put Dyson in in those situations and he can steal a base, pitchout or not pitchout," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "The problem is it takes him 20 feet to slow down."
After that, Jeff Francoeur filled out and the Royals lost to the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 Sunday.
"I got a good jump," Dyson said.
"I don't like to peek in to see what the catcher's doing. I like to listen and I heard the mitt pop way too early. I was pushing it and slid way too hard. I've got to clean that up. I have to be safe right there."
Everybody in the stadium knows I'm going. I like the challenge. I figure if I get that bag we've got a good chance. I come off the bag sometimes. It depends on a lot of things.
Dyson 1 was off on the first pitch, but Kevin lesen pitched out.
Mark Trumbo hit a three-run homer and Dan Haren pitched effectively into the sixth inning as the Angels won two of three at Kauffman Stadium.
Trumbo, who had hit just .177 with 62 strikeouts in his previous 37 games to drop his average from .306 to .268, homered off Will Smith (5-8) in the second inning.
It depends on the dirt. There are a lot of excuses I can use, but I didn't get the job done there."
"When we got down 4-0, I knew we had to hold it right there and to Will's credit, he did it, with the help of great defense and some really great relay throws," Royals manager Ned Yost said.
Haren (11-11) improved to 3-1 in his past four starts, holding the Royals to three runs, two earned, and five hits, while walking one and striking out five. He also moved to 4-0 in five career starts at Kansas City.
Outfielder Jason Bourgeois had two assists as the Royals threw out Albert Pujols trying to stretch a double into a triple and Erick Aybar, who was trying to from first to second after a second inning
After closer Ernesto Frieri gave up two home runs in the ninth Saturday to blow a save and take the loss and threw 30 pitches in a save Friday. Jespen was summoned in the ninth and picked up his second in four chances. Jespen has held opponents to one earned run in 11 2-3 innings in his last 12 outings.
Tori Hunter, who has 17 RBIs in his past 18 games, singled home Erick Aybar in the first inning.
single.
After Haren departed, the Royals managed just one hit off Angels relievers Nick Maronde, Garrett Richards, Scott Downs, Jordan Walden and Kevin Jespen.
The Angels got a major scare in the fourth inning when outfielders Mike Trout and Hunter collided while chasing Billy Butler's double to right-center. Manager Mike Scioscia and the trainer came out, but both remained in the game. Butler wound up scoring on Howie Kendrick's throwing error after Jeff Francoeur's infield shot, trimming the Angels' lead to 4-3.
Tony Abreu led off the Kansas City third with his first home run in nearly two years. Abreu's previous home run was Sept. 26, 2010, while with Arizona against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Despite attempting twice as many shots as their competitors, the Jayhawks soccer team lost 1-0 in a hard-fought game against the University of Denver Friday night. Kansas's record is now 6-2-1.
The Pioneers brought a physical presence to Lawrence that the Jayhawks have not seen yet this season; Denver was called for 15 fouls while Kansas committed only seven.
Coach Mark Francis said he knew Denver was a very good team before the match, but was surprised at how the first half went.
"I thought the first half they totally dominated us, especially physically," Francis said. "We just couldn't find any rhythm; they had the ball more than we did and they created more opportunities."
Kansas was stymied defensively throughout the game by Denver's
ability to double team the ball, but it was the offside calls in the first half that kept Kansas off the scoreboard early. The Jayhawks had three shot opportunities that were called offside.
Francis said it was a game of two halves. After a frustrating first half, he was able to regroup his team and Kansas played a much better second half.
"I thought we played pretty well in the second half," Francis said. "We outshot them 11-1 in the second half. When you outshoot someone 11-1 you expect to score a goal."
"The goal that we gave up was little bit disappointing," Francis
The layhawks were unable to find the back of the net to tie the game even though they outshot the Pioneers 16-8. Denver scored the lone goal 18 minutes into the match after a free kick, making Friday's game the latest in a season plagued by set pieces for Kansas.
This was the last non-conference game of the season for the Jayhawks and they haven't had to leave Lawrence for a game yet. With only two losses, the Jayhawcs are in good shape. Francis knows this match was tough, but as long as the team understands the mistakes that were made, he can live with the game's outcome.
said. "There was a little bit of a breakdown off the set piece and with miscommunication, the ball bounces in the six yard box. We kind of gave the kid a gift on it."
"I'll take the loss as long as we learn from it and don't make the same mistake again," Francis said. "You know you learn from it and you move on."
Kansas opens conference play Friday against Oklahoma State at 5 p.m. in Lawrence.
Free kick seals victory for Denver Friday night, Kansas loses 0-1.
