13 innings…469 total pitches…and a 12-9 KC win on a three-run home run from Matt Treanor! The veteran catcher, acquired just six days ago from Texas, was originally drafted by the Royals in 1994. He was traded to the Marlins in 1997 and spent a total of 10 years in the minor leagues before getting the call with Florida in 2004. Congrats to Matt on his first walk-off home run in the majors!
