Royals score three in bottom of the ninth for the win

Lorenzo Cain’s walk-off RBI lifts Kansas City past Nationals

Royals even series at one game apiece

KANSAS CITY, Mo.

The baseball mosh-pit took place just to the right of second base on Tuesday night. Lorenzo Cain was somewhere near the bottom.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Cain came through with a two-out, game-winning base hit off Washington Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon, busting out of an early-season slump and carrying the Royals to an improbable rally in a 7-6 victory on at Kauffman Stadium.

For three of the last four nights, the Royals offense could not score.
