With no playoffs in sight for either team, Game 162 is one play a little differently looking to get everyone some playing time and trying to avoid any injuries
Kansas City's Yasmani Grandal had a different idea smacking three home runs including a solo shot off Tony Gonsolin in the top of the 11th inning to help give the Pit Masters a 7-6 victory at Busch Stadium (1997).
The River Walkers used a different reliever to start each inning and had all of its starters but catcher Tucker Barnart and third baseman Nicky Delmonico out of the game by the top of the sixth.
They led 6-3 going into the ninth but could not hold the lead.
Out of left-handed relievers with a series of leftys scheduled to bat, Kansas City made hay.
But not before closer Tommy Kanhle once again helped give away another lead.

Pitching for the third straight game, he walked Brian Mundell and gave up a double to Eric Thames before heading to the shower for the final time in 2021.
Josh Staumont came on and hit Brett Phillips before walking Grandal with the bases loaded to make it 6-4.
Reyes Moronta, who right-handed hitters can't touch but he can get lefty hitters out, then walked right-handed hitter Allen Cordoba to make it 6-5.
A sacrifice fly from Mookie Betts tied it at 6.
Grandal's other homers were both solo shots. He took Bill Warson deep in the third inning and hit one off Jacob de Grom in the fifth).
