What a win for the Royals! KC trailed 2-0 entering the ninth. Alex Gordon singled off of former teammate Zack Greinke with one out. Greinke was replaced at that point, with Billy Butler due up. KC’s DH hit a long homer to center on the first pitch and Salvador Perez followed with his first career walk-off homer. Below are photos of Butler’s homer and the reaction after the walk-off by Perez.
