Adjust Comment Print

Nate Karns struck out a career-high 12 in five innings, Eric Hosmer reached base four times and the Kansas City Royals beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-3 on Saturday night.

Sacrifice flies by Lorenzo Cain and Jorge Bonifacio in the fifth gave the Royals a 3-2 lead. "And our relief pitchers too". Because I'm not the pitcher that what my numbers are showing, so I have to go out there and compete and kind of get back to what I did previous year, when I was really going after guys and pounding the bottom half of the strike zone and really keeping guys off balance. One game's results won't give us a definitive answer either way about whether this should continue - and really, it's more about who is ahead of Schoop than about Schoop himself. "Fortunately, today we scored a good amount of runs and was able to hold off a great team over there and found a way to win again".

"I think you see elevated fastballs, maybe a little bit higher, splits with a little bit more darty action going down", Joseph said. I don't care if you've got 10 guys in your bullpen, that's not a good recipe. "It was good to get that one under the belt and hopefully it'll be a little easier getting back out there". The finale of that series was postponed due to rain. If I make a good pitch to Flaherty, I'd like to think I'd get an out there and keep me at 1-nothing at that point and this win is a lot easier.

"When I look at how hard they hit just about every hit they got today, that's how I base my starts off of". But yea, I feel like I'm better than I was at the start of the season.

Karns has 48 strikeouts in 40 1/3 innings this season, but has also allowed eight home runs, including a pair to Francisco Pena on Saturday. The 6-foot-6 left-hander allowed three runs and two hits, both homers. "Really trying in a flawless world, unless we were ahead, to stay away from [right-handers Darren O'Day and Brad Brach] one more time". Richard is capable of better. Mychal has good stuff. Mark Trumbo, who led the majors in homers a year ago, is starting to heat up, clubbing a two-run blast on Wednesday and delivering a walk-off single in extra innings the previous night. Moss is up to six home runs this season. Moss has homered in consecutive games.

"I had a lot more emotion than I've had in a long time playing this game tonight", Maness said. He'll try to keep the magic going Friday at the MinnesotaTwins.

"We really didn't want to send Richard [to the minors] the first time", Showalter said before the game. I'm just constantly trying to work on being able to cover the entire plate.

CASTILLO REHABS: Welington Castillo was behind the plate for seven innings and had a 1-for-3 afternoon for Bowie in his rehab assignment. He is eligible to come off the disabled list Tuesday.

While the Baltimore Orioles own the best home record in the majors, they had their six-game winning streak snapped in the opener of a scheduled eight-game road trip. He is 1-8 in his past 14 starts.
