Lane Thomas hit a three-run, walk-off homer in the 10th inning, after Jac Caglianone clubbed a tying two-run shot in the ninth, and the host Kansas City Royals rallied past the Los Angeles Angels 11-9 on Sunday to complete a three-game series sweep.
In a contest whose start was moved up roughly three hours due to predicted severe weather, Kansas City trailed 6-0 after two innings and 8-5 entering the bottom of the ninth.
The Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino laced a two-out triple and scored on Salvador Perez's single. With Drew Pomeranz on the mound, Caglianone then sent a towering drive just inside the right-field foul pole to tie the game at 8.
With two out in the 10th and runners on first and third of a 9-8 game, Thomas capped the improbable comeback by sending a pitch from Joey Lucchesi (0-1) over the left-field wall. Automatic runner Carter Jensen and Maikel Garcia, who had walked, also scored.
Bobby Witt Jr. and Isaac Collins also homered for the Royals, who are 4-1 since an eight-game skid.
Losers in seven of eight, the Angels wasted no time getting to Royals starter Seth Lugo. Zach Neto opened the game with the first of his three hits, then Mike Trout sent a drive off and over the top of the left-field wall for a 2-0 lead. It was the first homer allowed this season by Lugo, who yielded seven runs and a career-high 14 hits over 6 1/3 innings on Sunday.
The Angels added on in the second with Adam Frazier's RBI double and another two-base hit from Neto that scored two. Jorge Soler's one-out RBI single capped the four-run inning.
Kansas City got on the board in the fifth on Collins' RBI single to center. In the sixth, with a man on, Witt's first 2026 homer came Angels starter Reid Detmers, who exited with no outs in that inning, made it 6-3.
Los Angeles got an RBI single from Jo Adell in the seventh, but Collins homered just off the right-field foul pole in the bottom of the frame. After a rain delay of nearly two hours interrupted the seventh, Pasquantino's sacrifice fly made it 7-5 when play returned.
Los Angeles added a run in the ninth when Oswald Peraza scored from third on a passed ball by Jensen.
