ST. LOUIS -- Overcoming two blown saves gave the Kansas City Royals reason to believe this trip would be better.Its hard to come in here and not only once but twice take the lead and have them answer back, Eric Hosmer said after a 3-2, 12-inning victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night. I think the guys realize our bullpen doesnt do that too often, so when it does happen we do whatever we can to pick them up.The Royals are just 14-25 on the road, one of the worst records in the majors.

Unfortunately for me and the team, it was fair.Jhonny Peraltas two-out single tied it at 1 in the ninth against Davis, the second blown save in 20 chances for the Royals closer.Edinson Volquez worked 6 2/3 innings of six-hit ball in a strong bounce-back effort for Kansas City.
