Brewers' Lorenzo Cain credits Rusty Kuntz after base-running play outwits Cubs

The Cubs' Albert Almora Jr. put his head in his hands. A Brewers announcer said he had "goosebumps." Milwaukee center fielder Lorenzo Cain simply flashed that smile.

If you're a Royals fan, you remember that Lorenzo Cain smile, right?

The reason for the range of emotions was Cain's heads-up base-running play in the Brewers' 4-0 win over the Cubs on Tuesday night.

Here is what transpired: Cain was at the plate in the third inning, and Christian Yelich was on second base. Cain hit a grounder up the middle that was fielded by Chicago second baseman Javier Baez, and Yelich was caught heading to third.
