Kimbrel gets 422nd save, Santander hits 3 doubles and Orioles beat Royals 9
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Craig Kimbrel tied Billy Wagner for seventh on the career list with his 422nd save, Anthony Santander had the first three-double game of his major league career and the Baltimore Orioles rode a seven-run second inning to a 9-7 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.
Salvador Perez tied his career high with five RBIs for the Royals, who tried to overcome a 7-0 deficit, and hit a game-ending flyout to Colton Cowser in front of the left-field warning track.
Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his fifth save in six chances this year as the Orioles evened the three-game series. He is two saves behind John Franco on the career list and three back of Kenley Jansen.
Baltimore at first didn’t keep the ball for the final out.
“I guess the ball just got thrown into the stands,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “We’ve got to have a little more awareness in left field when you catch that, but he was great tonight.”
