Moustakas' Throw Saves Royals' 3-2 Win over Cards

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Mike Moustakas cut down Tyler Greene at the plate to end the game, capping a wild ninth inning and preserving the Kansas City Royals' 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. Greene reached on a two-out infield hit for his third single of the game, stole second and advanced on catcher Bryan Pena's wild throw. He tried to score on another off-line throw by second baseman Chris Getz, but third baseman Moustakas made a strong throw to nip Greene at home. The crazy finish came after Yadier Molina eased up on what he believed was an infield hit to start the St. Louis ninth. The catcher belatedly sped up after Alcides Escobar's diving stop, and the shortstop made a strong throw to first as Molina banged his helmet with his hands. (Copyright 2012 by The Associated Press.
