For the Royals, Tuesday night was a special treat seeing a surge in run production.

For the Cardinals, Tuesday night was the sight of a disappointing collapse.

St. Louis, despite being up 7-2 in the third inning, ending up blowing a five-run lead, falling to the Kansas City Royals 10-7 at Busch Stadium.

The Royals overcame an early deficit against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Royals starter Michael Lorenzen was chased in the third inning. He allowed seven earned runs and a pair of home runs.

Lorenzen now sports a 5.12 ERA this season, possibly prompting the Royals to consider a rotation shift.

The game was also the sight for the much-anticipated debut of Jac Caglianone. And although Caglianone was hitless, going 0-5, he made contact in every at-bat and was robbed of two hits, bringing excitement and anxiety to the Busch Stadium crowd.

His first at bat would’ve been an extra base hit if not for an impressive catch from Victor Scot II near the warning track. His second at bat was an 112 mph ground ball that was snabbed with a backhanded pick from Nolan Arenado.

The rally was kicked off with a Nick Loftin solo home in the fifth inning. Later in the inning, franchise face Bobby Witt Jr. knocked in two runs with an RBI single to the left side of the infield. He also had a two-run homer in the first.

Witt’s solid day saw him finish 2-4 with a walk and four RBIs.

Two batters later, Vinnie Pasquantino hit an RBI double to on a line drive to tie it at 7-7, and slugger Salvador Perez gave the Royals the lead on a line drive RBI single to left field to cap off a six-run fifth, and they never looked back.

The Royals will look to take the series against St. Louis tomorrow.
