Kansas City, Mo. ? Sergio Santos threw a wild pitch in the 11th inning that allowed Alex Gordon to score the winning run for the Kansas City Royals in a 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Billy Butler swung at a pitch in the dirt that escaped catcher A.J. Pierzynski and Gordon came home and scored with a headfirst slide to give the Royals their 10th win in the final at-bat.

Chris Sale (2-1) retired the first two batters before walking Gordon, who went to third on Mitch Maier’s single. Santos then replaced Sale.

Aaron Crow (3-2) worked two scoreless innings, allowing one hit, to pick up the victory.
