The Kansas City Royals managed to pull off a very odd pitching change that got the better of the San Francisco Giants and Gabe Kapler.

During the seventh inning of Sunday's game at Oracle Park, the Royals went to remove Carlos Hernandez, who was suffering a hand ailment, with one on and two out.

With Royals left-hander Ryan Yarbrough warmed up, bench coach and acting manager Paul Hoover seemed to summon him from the bullpen. However, after a brief injury delay, K.C. opted to stick with Hernandez to get the final out of the inning.
