KANSAS CITY -- So, what did it take for the Royals to snap a three-game skid and avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Indians?\n\nOne of the more bizarre innings you’ll see in a while. The Royals essentially dumped in a few flops shots over the infield, a 25-foot single, and a sun ball on their way to a five-run fifth that paved the way for a 9-6 victory on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium.\n\n• [Box score](https://www.mlb.com/gameday/565756/final/box)\n\nRoyals manager Ned Yost sounded relieved afterward.\n\n“It really feels good to me,” Yost said. “I’m going to really enjoy this one. We have been playing good baseball, and we ran into a team that is really, really hot. Give them credit. They’re clicking on all cylinders. … To fall behind 3-0 today and continue to battle and fight and end up victorious, I’m going to go home, lay on the couch and feel really good.”
Trailing 5-3 entering the fifth, the Royals got going on
That was it for Bauer, who in frustration took the ball and fired it off the batter’s eye in center field, a throw that traveled close to 380 feet.\n\nThe Royals were a little stunned.\n\n\"He chucked it, no doubt,”
