ST. LOUIS -- It took almost two months, but the Royals finally won their first road series of 2018.
Drew Butera lined a two-run single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning to lift the Royals to a hard-earned 5-2 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon in the rubber game of the I-70 Series at Busch Stadium.
The Royals loaded the bases in the 10th with none out on singles by Jorge Soler and Alex Gordon, and an error on Cards right-hander Bud Norris, who muffed a sacrifice bunt attempt by Alcides Escobar.
