The Royals and Rangers remained scoreless until Delino DeShields’ walk-off, RBI single in the bottom of the 13th inning Thursday in Arlington, snapping a scoreless-innings streak of 21.0 orchestrated by Kansas City pitching.

- July 23, 1992: Royals 0, Cleveland 1 (14 innings)
- Sept. 14, 1983: Royals 1, California 0 (14 innings)
- May 23, 1981: Royals 1, Minnesota 0 (15 innings)
