But the Royals were officially eliminated from the postseason when Baltimore beat Toronto.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Land of Hoz: After Jarrod Dyson singled with one out, Hosmer stepped up with two out and smacked a two-run shot just to the right of the fountains in right field to break a scoreless tie. Hosmer added to his career highs in home runs (25) and RBIs (103).
Kennys connects: Kennys Vargas tied the game with a two-run blast to right off reliever Kevin McCarthy in the sixth.
