Royals' Heath scores decisive run on sac fly

MESA, Ariz. -- Nick Heath has run wild since the Arizona Fall League season began, and his speed settled the Surprise Saguaros' game against the Mesa Solar Sox on Friday night.

With the score tied 1-1 in the top of the eighth, Heath coaxed a one-out walk from right-hander Angel Duno (Athletics), then stole second and third base before coming home with the decisive run on a Lane Thomas (Cardinals) sacrifice fly. The Saguaros added an insurance run in the ninth for a 3-1 victory to improve to 5-4, one game behind the Peoria Javelinas in the West Division.
