Statcast: Cain's sprint the difference for KC

"Yeah, I'm thinking home," Cain said. "Once [Hosmer] hit it, I looked out and saw [right fielder Jose] Bautista playing down the line. I thought initially I wasn't going to score, because he's playing down the line."

Per Statcast™, Cain went from first to second base in 3.81 seconds, and needed only 3.34 seconds to go from second to third. He cut even more time off the final leg, going from third to home in only 3.31 seconds. In all, he reached a max speed of 20.7 mph during his 10.5-second dash from first to home.
