After falling into a quick 2-0 deficit to the Houston Astros in Wednesday's winner-take-all, Lorenzo Cain helped expedite Kansas City's comeback.

Cain never stopped rounding second on the bloop single, and the Royals didn't stop there. The defending American League champions scored three more times in the fifth during a rally keyed by Alex Rios' two-run double to take a 4-2 lead in the elimination game.
The winner of Game 5 will play the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL Championship Series.
