ST. LOUIS (AP) — Maikel Garcia homered, doubled and scored three times, and the Kansas City Royals beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-5 in the second game of a day-night doubleheader on Thursday night.

In front of a crowd of fans and young ballplayers, Smith fielded a slow roller near second base and, with a swift motion, flipped the ball behind his back to fellow former big leaguer Scott Cooper.

But the game ended in heartbreak as Nolan Arenado was tagged out at home after hit a check-swing weak dribbler in front of the plate, the kind of ending that triggers a meltdown on MLB Twitter.
