Carlos Beltran hits a grand slam and adds a solo home run in the 11th inning to pace the Royals to a 10 – 7 victory over Texas. His solo shot is the first of three consecutive home runs in the 11th, as Mike Sweeney and Joe Randa follow suit. The Royals become just the second major league team to hit at least three consecutive home runs in extra innings. Back on May 2, 1964, also in the 11th inning, the Minnesota Twins hit four consecutive home runs, by Tony Oliva, Bob Allison, Jimmie Hall and Harmon Killebrew. Getting back to tonight, Kansas City’s one remaining home run comes with the bases empty, courtesy of Neifi Perez, while Texas gets a pair of two-run blasts from Alex Rodriguez.
