Left fielder Alex Gordon belted the most important homer, a towering shot to lead off the 10th in a 7-6 win over the Rangers at Globe Life Park.
Gordon's homer was one of three on the night, one each from the Royals' three left-handed hitters in the lineup. Eric Hosmer tied the game at 1 in the second with his sixth of the season, while Mike Moustakas gave Kansas City a brief 5-4 lead in the seventh with his fourth.
