And the Royals appeared to be primed to spit back an 8-6 lead in the fifth when Victor Martinez walked and Nick Castellanos doubled. But reliever Chris Young then did the unthinkable on this night -- he danced out of the jam without giving up a run.
First, Young struck out Tyler Collins. Then, the right-hander got James McCann to pop out to short right.
Then, Andrew Romine hit a little flare toward the Tigers' dugout. Royals catcher Salvador Perez made a remarkable, Gold Glove Award play by sliding feet first and snaring the baseball just in front of the dugout railing.
