Lorenzo Cain doubled twice, drove in three runs and stole a base in the Royals' 9-5 win over the Angels.
Cain's nice game tonight came from the sixth spot in the lineup. He might now get be asked to lead off against right-handers due to Jarrod Dyson's ankle injury. However, he's been quite the force hitting lower in the order; in 23 games batting fifth or sixth, he's both scored and driven in 18 runs. May 16 - 2:14 AM
