Jose Segura hit a two-out, two-run home run off Kansas City reliever Victor Vodnik in the top of the sixth inning to snap a 4-4 tie, and help lift St. Louis to a 6-4 win at Kauffman Stadium.
The Monarchs opened the inning with starting pitcher Travis Rinker on the mound.
He sandwiched a pair of flyouts around a hit by pitch of Jose Ramirez, before exiting in favor of Vodnik.
Segura was the first batter Vodnik faced, and it got to a 3-2 count before the River Walkers center fielder powered his fourth home run of the season 460 feet over the wall in right-center.
Walkers pitcher Jesse McNaboe singled off Rinker to lead off the fourth and scored on a Segura fielder's choice to give St. Louis a 4-2 lead.
KC tied it in the bottom of the fifth against McNaboe.
Josh Shuler with an RBI double, followed by a run-scoring single from Ramon Puente.

Four relievers -- Josh Forgy (0.1 IP), Cory Tiller (1.0), Nick Ruffalo (0.2) and closer Ernesto Barbosa (1.0) -- combined to finish the win.
Barbosa earned his sixth save.
