KANSAS CITY -- The Royals pulled off what likely is their double play of the season so far in the third inning against Detroit on Sunday.
With Detroit's Jose Iglesias on second and one out, Ian Kinsler lined a one-hopper at Royals shortstop Christian Colon, who flipped to second baseman Omar Infante, who slapped a tag on Iglesias.
After the tag, Infante instinctively rifled a relay to first, causing second-base umpire Lance Barrett to duck out of the way before he ruled Iglesias out.
The relay skipped into first baseman Eric Hosmer's glove on one hop, and Kinsler was called out.
