Sun can't stop Royals' great defensive plays

Early on, Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas lost a Ryan Flaherty pop-up that fell for a single. Moments later, shortstop Alcides Escobar lost a pop-up by Jonathan Schoop, found it, lost it again, then found it again and made the catch.

"On the one I dropped, I had it on the way up and then lost it," Moustakas said. "I hoped it would come out of the sun, but it never did.

"It was a tough day with the sun and combined with the wind. But the outfielders did a great job, and Esky picked me up a couple of times.
