The Kansas City Royals led 4-3 heading into the bottom of the fifth inning powered by a doubles barrage from left fielder Alex Gordon, catcher Salvador Perez, and right fielder Jarrod Dyson in the top of fourth.
However, the Angels struck back for five runs in the bottom of the fifth when a potential double play ball bounced off the glove of second baseman Omar Infante to load the bases with one out.
Though the play was ruled a hit, Infante’s lapse opened the door to a five-run rally capped by Johnny Giavotella‘s three-run shot off of Edinson Volquez.
