Both of our teams pick up 11th inning wins–Hosmer walks off sixth straight for KC, Grichuk doubles in winner for STL

August 20, 2016 By Bill Pollock

Eric Hosmer’s single in the 11th inning drove in Cheslor Cuthbert with the winning run to give the Royals a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night/Saturday morning.  The Royals have won six straight, matching a season high.  There was a 3-hour, 3-minute rain delay in the top of the fifth, plus a 12-minute delay when some of the lights went out in the bottom of the sixth.  The game took 3:34, but just over seven hours to finish.

Randal Grichuk homered early, then hit an RBI double in the 11th inning as the Cardinals topped the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 Friday night for their fifth straight win.  Jedd Gyorko hit a tying, two-run homer with one out in the St. Louis ninth. The Cardinals tied a major league record with multiple home runs in nine consecutive games.  Jhonny Peralta led off the 11th with a double and, two batters later, Grichuk doubled to the wall in left-center off Frank Herrmann (0-1).
