Watch multiple angles of play at plate that gave Royals a thrilling win over Astros
The Royals beat the Astros 3-2 on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium, and Houston’s final at-bat of the game resulted in a single by Jose Altuve.
Altuve singled to left field and Chas McCormick attempted to score from second base. Unfortunately for the Astros, McCormick was unsuccessful in his quest.
Royals left fielder Andrew Benintendi threw a laser to catcher Salvador Perez, who tagged out McCormick to end the game in thrilling fashion.
Benintendi’s throw was measured at 91.6 mph.
Because one look at the play is not enough, here are five videos that show multiple angles of the final out.
