Iannetta key piece to defending Royals’ run game

The Royals’ speed doesn’t just impact the Angels’ pitchers; it affects manager Mike Scioscia’s in-game decisions on offense. In the eighth inning of Game 1 of the AL Division Series on Thursday, Chris Iannetta was on second with one out, representing the potential go-ahead run, but Scioscia didn’t remove his slow-footed catcher for the faster Collin Cowgill.
