VIDEO: Gordon, Cain make outstanding plays to rob Yankees
Christopher Hanewinckel / USA TODAY Sports
The Kansas City Royals are losing 5-1, but that doesn't mean they can't keep flashing the leather.
The Royals boast one of the younger, more athletic teams in the majors, and having Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain patrolling the same outfield is just unfair.
In the fifth inning, New York Yankees third baseman Chase Headley hit a sinking liner to left field. It was safe to say that as Gordon began tracking the ball, the inevitable was about to happen.
One batter later, Carlos Beltran drilled what appeared to be an extra-base hit. Instead, Cain traced his shot to the wall before making a sensational leaping grab.
