Royals put Eibner on DL, option Gee to Triple-A Omaha

Posted on June 1, 2016

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Kansas City Royals placed Brett Eibner on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a left ankle sprain.

Eibner injured his ankle Tuesday night while chasing down Brad Miller’s triple in the fifth inning of the Royals’ 10-5 victory over Tampa Bay.

Eibner made his big league debut Friday. And on Saturday he had two hits, including a walk-off single, in the Royals’ seven-run ninth inning to defeat the Chicago White Sox.

The Royals also optioned right-hander Dillon Gee, who was the winning pitcher Tuesday, to Triple-A Omaha. Gee gave up four runs and nine hits, including a home run, and a walk in five innings against the Rays. Gee, who was with the New York Mets the previous six seasons, is 2-2 with a 4.28 ERA in 11 games, including four starts.

The Royals recalled outfielder Reymond Fuentes, who was their opening day right fielder. He was optioned April 19 to Omaha after hitting .238 in six games when Jarrod Dyson came off the disabled list. He hit .302, scored 10 runs and stole six bases in 17 games with Omaha.

The Royals also recalled right-hander Peter Moylan, who was optioned Sunday to Omaha. Moylan was 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA with seven strikeouts in 7 1-3 innings with Kansas City.

Eric Gilliland is expected to become Cloud County Community College’s next head baseball coach, replacing Greg Brummett who resigned following 13 seasons with the program. Final action to approve Gilliland should come at a special meeting of the Cloud County Community College Board of Trustees on Thursday, June 2nd.

Gilliland previously served as the assistant baseball coach at Garden City Community College. During his four seasons with the Broncbusters, Gilliland was a part of one Jayhawk West Conference championship team (2012) and two Jayhawk Conference runner-ups (2013, 2014). While at GCCC, Gilliland helped 14 players move on to the Division 1 level.

Prior to Garden City, Gilliland served as an assistant baseball coach and sports information intern at his alma mater, Fort Hays State University. He interned in sports information under current SID, Ryan Prickett and assisted the sports information department in volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, and baseball at FHSU.

Gilliland joined Cloud County Community College last year as the school’s Sports Information Director.

From 2005-2007, Gilliland attended Cloud County Community College. He earned Academic All-American honors in baseball while at Cloud. He was also a member of Phi Theta Kappa, and the Sports Editor of the school newspaper.

The Concordia, Kansas native was a two-time All-MIAA selection as a pitcher at Fort Hays State in 2008 and 2009, and is currently ranked in the top 10 all-time at Fort Hays State in strikeouts and innings pitched. Gilliland was also a top performer in the classroom as a CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District First Team selection, and Fort Hays State’s male Ken B. Jones Award nominee in 2009.

Following his collegiate playing career, Gilliland played professionally for three years in independent baseball. Most recently, he pitched for the Wichita Wingnuts of Wichita, Kansas in 2011. He played with the Gateway Grizzlies of Sauget, Illinois in 2010, and the Midwest Sliders of Ypsilanti, Michigan in 2009.

Gilliland earned his bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Performance from Fort Hays State University in 2009. He obtained his Master’s degree in Sports Administration in 2011 from Fort Hays State.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Lorenzo Cain homered and drove in four runs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-5 on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to a season-best five games.

The Royals, who have won six straight series, took a two-game lead in the AL Central after being seven games out and in fourth place on May 10.

Cain hit a two-run homer in the first inning and a two-run single in the five-run fifth when the Royals batted around. Cain has 23 RBIs in his past 19 games after driving in 10 runs in his first 30 games.

Kendrys Morales homered – a two-run shot in the sixth – and drove in three runs for the Royals while Eric Hosmer had three hits and drove in two runs. Hosmer is 13 for 30 with 13 RBIs on this homestand.

Royals right-hander Dillon Gee (2-2) labored through five innings to pick up the victory.

Royals OF Eibner carted off with apparent ankle injury

Posted on June 1, 2016

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Kansas City Royals rookie outfielder Brett Eibner was carted off with a lateral sprain of his left ankle in the fifth inning Tuesday night.

Eibner was injured chasing a triple by Tampa Bay’s Brad Miller. The Royals said Eibner would be evaluated more on Wednesday.

Eibner began hopping on his right foot while he retrieved the ball and flipped it to center fielder Lorenzo Cain. Eibner went down as manager Ned Yost and trainer Nick Kenney rushed to his aid. Kenney examined Eibner’s left foot and a cart was brought in to remove him.

Eibner doubled in the fourth inning to raise his average to .462 and has hit safely in all four games he has played since making his major league debut Friday. He had a walk-off single Saturday as the Royals scored seven runs in the ninth to beat the Chicago White Sox 8-7.

Jarrod Dyson replaced Eibner in left.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Eric Hosmer hit a three-run homer after Lorenzo Cain drove in the go-ahead run in a four-run eighth inning and the Kansas City Royals defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 on Monday night.

The Royals have won four straight, matching their season best streak, and have scored 19 runs after the sixth innings in those victories.

Cain’s single scored Alcides Escobar with the first run of the inning before Hosmer took a pitch from Erasmo Ramirez (6-3) deep to right-center for his 10th home run.

Kelvin Herrera (1-1) blew the save, allowing a run in the eighth, but he picked up the victory. Steve Pearce scored from second on an infield single by Steven Souza Jr. to tie it at 2.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cheslor Cuthbert drive in the go-ahead run with an infield hit in a three-run eighth inning, and the Kansas City Royals rallied for the third straight game in a 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

Chicago wasted a 4-2 lead in the eighth after failing to protect a 5-2 seventh-inning advantage on Friday and a 7-1 ninth-inning margin on Saturday. White Sox relievers allowed 17 runs, 15 hits and eight walks over 6 1/3 innings in the three-game series, and Chicago has lost 14 of its last 18 games.

Seeking to become the major leagues’ first 10-game winner, Chris Sale left with a 4-2 lead after seven innings.

Royals score 7 in 9th to beat White Sox 8-7; Perez hurt

Posted on May 28, 2016May 28, 2016

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Brett Eibner’s single capped the biggest ninth-inning comeback in Kansas City Royals history, a seven-run rally off David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle that lifted the World Series champions over the Chicago White Sox 8-7 Saturday.

Kansas City’s Salvador Perez was injured in the ninth when third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert slid with a forearm and elbow into the left thigh of the All-Star catcher, who called off Chien-Ming Wang (3-0), settled under Adam Eaton’s foul popup about 30 feet from the plate near the third-base line and snagged the ball just before he was hit.

Perez immediately raised his right arm, signaling for assistance. Two minutes later, Perez hobbled off the field with his arms draped over the shoulders of manager Ned Yost and an athletic trainer.

Held to six hits through eight innings, the Royals doubled their total in the ninth and overcame a seven-run deficit for the first time since beating San Francisco on June 22, 2008. The inning included four walks, two of them intentional, and four runs scored with two outs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez had to be helped off the field in the ninth inning Saturday against the Chicago White Sox after colliding with rookie third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert while catching Adam Eaton’s foul popup.

Cuthbert came sliding in and struck Perez’s lower legs. Perez went down in pain as trainer Nick Kenney and manager Ned Yost rushed to the field.

Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas and left fielder Alex Gordon collided Sunday while chasing a foul ball at Chicago and both landed on the disabled list. Gordon has a broken right wrist and is out for three to four weeks, while Moustakas tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and is likely out for the season.

Drew Butera replaced Perez.
