VIDEO: Cain helps speed up Royals' comeback

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.

The Royals center fielder showed off his tremendous speed during the fourth inning of Game 5 when he raced around the bases and scored from first base on an Eric Hosmer single up the middle.

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.
