Drew Waters’ third home run of the series for the Kansas City Royals lifted his team to an extra-inning victory, evened the series and put a positive end note on the final start of the season for veteran pitcher Zack Greinke on Monday night.
Waters blasted a three-run home run in the 10th inning, a towering 379-foot blast to left field, and that proved the difference in a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians in front of an announced 18,688 in the fourth game of a season-ending six-game series at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
Waters, who homered in back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday, went 2 for 4 with four RBIs and the deciding home run for the Royals (65-95). In his last 15 games, Waters has batted .311 with a .380 on-base percentage, four home runs and 13 RBIs.
