KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — 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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Michael McGreevy (3-6) took the loss. He allowed five runs on eight hits in five innings.<\/p>\n

Caglianone’s shot was his 10th of the season.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Herrera drove in Nathan Church with a single in the third to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Royals added a run in the fifth on Caglianone’s homer and another on a sacrifice fly by Tyler Tolbert in the sixth.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals got three in the ninth off Matt Strahm, but Lange stranded the tying run.<\/p>\n
