The Kansas City Royals were trying to dig out of an early five-run hole against Tampa Bay on Wednesday night, and had the bases loaded with one out and Lorenzo Cain at the plate. He grounded into an inning-ending double play. Funny thing happened, though: It didn't seem to deter the Royals one bit. In the ultimate show of resiliency, Kansas City kept plugging along, scratching away at the Rays' big lead. And by the time the Royals put up five runs in the sixth inning, they were well on their way to a 9-8 victory on a cold, blustery Wednesday night.
