Caglianone, Lugo lead Royals past Cardinals 6-5, to clinch series
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jac Caglianone hit a home run and drove in two as the Kansas City Royals beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 Friday night to clinch the three-game series and snap a three-series losing streak.
Seth Lugo (3-4) pitched six innings in his return from the concussion list after being hit on the forehead by a line drive June 10. He allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits. Alex Lange earned his fifth save.
Michael McGreevy (3-6) took the loss. He allowed five runs on eight hits in five innings.
Caglianone's shot was his 10th of the season.
The Cardinals scored a run in the first on a sacrifice fly by Jordan Walker , scoring Ivan Herrera . Walker's 58th RBI gave him the MLB lead, pending the Athletics' Nick Kurtz 's game later Friday against the Angels.
Herrera drove in Nathan Church with a single in the third to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead.
The Royals seized the lead with four runs in the fourth. Lane Thomas led off with a double and scored on a single by Caglianone. Michael Massey 's single drove home Caglianone. After John Rave walked, Isaac Collins drove home Massey and Rave with a double.
The Royals added a run in the fifth on Caglianone's homer and another on a sacrifice fly by Tyler Tolbert in the sixth.
The Cardinals got three in the ninth off Matt Strahm , but Lange stranded the tying run.
Following a rare Saturday off-day because of a World Cup match at neighboring Arrowhead Stadium, the Cardinals and Royals conclude their three-game series Sunday. The Cards will send RHP Dusty May (5-6, 3.75 ERA) to the mound to face RHP Stephen Kolek (4-1, 2.68).
