Acquiring both pitcher Johnny Cueto and super utility man Ben Zobrist just wasn't enough for the American League Central-leading Kansas City Royals, who decided to add some highlight-reel plays into the mix Tuesday night.
During the bottom of the ninth inning against the Cleveland Indians, Royals second baseman Omar Infante and shortstop Alcides Escobar combined on an amazing play to steal a hit from Roberto Perez.
The Royals, who have the best record in the AL, beat the Indians 2-1 for their 61st win of the season.
