Dyson, who started after Omar Infante was scratched with back spasms, scored the tie-breaking run from first base on pitcher Ryan Mattheus' throwing error and the Royals went on to a 3-1, 13-inning victory over the Cincinnati Reds. ''That's why, every day, you've got to show up ready to play,'' said Dyson, who went 2 for 5 with a stolen base. Ben Zobrist tied the game 1-1 with a homer in the ninth inning off Reds closer Aroldis Chapman who had converted 56 consecutive save opportunities at home since blowing one against Houston on Sept. 7, 2012.
