Alas, when Infante came up in the ninth, he had no one on to drive in.
"I was rooting for him to get the record," Moustakas said. "Dang."
All Infante had to shoot for in the ninth was the cycle. He made a bid at the needed triple with a hard liner to right-center, but center fielder Abraham Almonte ran it down to end the inning and Infante's shot at some history.
"It felt good. It was good for us to get a win," Infante said of the Royals, whose magic number to clinch the American League Central dwindled to six by the end of the night.
