In their final Monday game of the season, the Royals bested the Guardians 5-2 in a thrilling extra-inning victory. The win is Kansas City’s 65th of the year.
It was Kansas City who opened the scoring in the top of the second on Monday night. With a runner at third and two outs, Drew Waters legged out an infield single to drive in the game’s first run.
In his last 15 games, Waters has sported an on-base percentage north of .360.
The lead, however, was short-lived. In the home half of the third, Cleveland tied it back up on a RBI-ground out from Steven Kwan.
