KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Kansas City Royals reliever Greg Holland will not pitch again this year due to a right elbow injury.
Holland will see Dr. Neal ElAttrache of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles next week to determine the severity of the injury.
Holland, 29, leads the Royals with 32 saves in 37 opportunities, but has been erratic this season. His fastball velocity has dipped to the upper 80s and lower 90s mph.
Manager Ned Yost acknowledged Holland has been pitching through elbow issues since the All-Star break. Yost said on Tuesday that Wade Davis would be his closer for the remainder of the season and postseason.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Lorenzo Cain singled home pinch-runner Paulo Orlando in the 10th inning, and the Kansas City Royals rallied past the Seattle Mariners 4-3 Wednesday night to close in on their first division title in 30 years.

The victory reduced the Royals’ magic number to two for clinching the AL Central crown. They can lock it up Thursday night with another victory over Seattle and a Minnesota loss to Cleveland.
The defending AL champions have not won a division since taking the AL West in 1985 and going on to win the World Series.
Cain drove in the game-winner one inning after scoring the tying run on Jarrod Dyson’s sacrifice fly to right in the ninth.
Wade Davis worked a scoreless 10th and improved to 8-1 with a 0.86 ERA.
Starter Yordano Ventura gave up three runs, all with two outs in the fifth, on six hits with four strikeouts and one walk.
Both the Hays High and TMP-Marian volleyball teams move up three spots in their respective classes in the latest Kansas Volleyball Association rankings released Wednesday. The Indians jump to No. 5 in 4A Division 1 while the Monarchs are up to No. 2 in 4A Division 2. La Crosse holds at No. 3 in 1A Division 1.

Fort Hays State Weekly Football Press Conference
September 22, 2015
Fort Hays State head football coach Chris Brown along with select players met with members of the media on Tuesday. The 3-0 Tigers, who are receiving votes in the latest AFCA Division II coaches poll, host No. 14 Pittsburg State Saturday night at 7 p.m. at Lewis Field.
HAYS, Kan. – It took almost 110 minutes to determine the winner in a non-conference matchup between 11th-ranked Fort Hays State and West Texas A&M on Tuesday night. The Tigers picked up their fifth win of the season in thrilling fashion, a 3-2 win in double overtime as Luan Silva netted his first goal of the season with just six seconds remaining.
The Buffs started the scoring early, just 5:12 into the first half as Ivan Ulloa broke away from the Tiger defense and put the first shot of the night past FHSU keeper Michael Yantz.
Later in the first half, FHSU’s Mauricio Castorino put a shifty move on a defender on a pass from teammate Luis Torres and chipped it past the diving WTAMU goalkeeper Patrick Satorie for his fifth goal of the season, leveling the score in the 26thminute.
A hand ball in the Tigers’ box gave WTAMU a penalty kick 30 seconds into the second half. After the first penalty shot was called back due to a box infraction by the Tigers, WTAMU Conrad Goulbourne netted his second goal of the season to push the WTAMU lead to 2-1.
A hard foul in the box in the 86th minute gave the Tigers an opportunity to even up the score with a penalty kick of their own. Maurizio Costa made the most of the opportunity for the Tigers when he scored his fifth goal of the year and brought the score even once again, 2-2, keeping the Tigers alive.
At the end of regulation the score remained 2-2 and the fans at FHSU Soccer Stadium were treated to free soccer. Both teams played their hearts out in overtime and with nine seconds remaining a WTAMU foul 25 yards out gave the Tigers one last chance as time was stopped by the official. That set up the game-winning opportunity. Castorino placed a beautiful ball into the WTAMU box and on a short hop Silva netted it with his right foot from 10 yards out. The teams were only six seconds away from playing to a 2-2 draw, but the Tigers found magic on their home turf to move to 5-1 overall on the season. WTAMU dropped to 3-4 overall.
Yantz got his fifth win of the season in between the pipes with four saves.
Fort Hays State’s next match will be on Friday as they head to Wichita, Kan. to take on Newman University.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Robinson Cano homered twice and drove in four runs and Hisashi Iwakuma struck out a season-high 10 as the Seattle Mariners romped past the slumping Kansas City Royals, 11-2 Tuesday night.
The AL Central-leading Royals have dropped 12 of 17. Their magic number for clinching the division remained three.
Cano and Kyle Seager each hit solo homers in the first inning for Seattle, which has the league’s best record in September at 13-6 but is still three games under .500 (74-77). It was Seager’s 25th home run and his seventh in 23 games.
Cano hit a three-run shot in a seven-run third inning for his 15th career multihomer game. Cano’s next hit will be the 2,000th of his career.
Iwakuma (9-4), who is 7-2 in his past nine starts, curbed the Royals on three singles over seven scoreless innings. He has allowed one run and 10 hits in 13 innings in his past two starts, while striking out 19 and walking one.
HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State came out on a tear by taking the first set against 14th-ranked Nebraska-Kearney on Tuesday (Sept. 22) in the MIAA opener, but the great start fizzled quickly in the second set and the rest of the match. UNK went on to win 3-1, extending its win streak over FHSU to 19 matches. The Lopers moved to 11-2 overall, 1-0 in the MIAA, while the Tigers moved to 8-5 overall, 0-1 in the MIAA.
Coach Kurt Kohler talks about loss to UNK
Fort Hays State carried over its hot play from last weekend in the first set, hitting .429 as a team with 17 kills and just two errors on 35 attempts. The defense was solid with 15 digs and four points off blocks. FHSU held UNK to just a .195 hitting percentage in the set. Mallory Flagor led the Tiger offense with five kills in the set and Rebekah Spainhour added four. Crystal Whitten put down the decisive kill with FHSU leading 24-23.
With momentum and a good-size crowd electrified after the first set win, the Tigers came out flat in the second set and never regained their first-set form. FHSU struggled to a .029 hitting percentage in the second set, a -.029 percentage in the third set, and just .100 in the fourth. Meanwhile, Nebraska-Kearney’s hitting percentage continued to rise, hitting .303 in the second set, .375 in the third, and .414 in the fourth. Fort Hays State’s solid defense from early in the match vanished, averaging just under 11 digs the final three sets. The Lopers’ defense thrived, averaging 19 digs the final three sets.
Whitten led the Tigers in kills with nine, while Spainhour added eight. Flagor and Sydner Dixon each had seven. Megan Anderson led the Tigers in hitting percentage at .308 with six kills and just two errors. Hannah Wagy produced 35 assists and she tied Flagor for a team-high 10 digs each.

Kayla Viztum led the Monarchs with 12 kills. She and Bailey Hageman both recorded seven service aces while Hageman had a team-high 21 digs.

HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State edged Kansas Wesleyan on Tuesday by a score of 5-4. The No. 2 doubles match was pivotal as it would eventually decide the match when the teams split singles play. FHSU moved to 2-3 overall with the win.

FHSU gained its first point quickly as the No. 3 doubles team of Haley Weidemann and Taylor Noel downed their opponent 8-1. The No. 1 team of Laura Jimenez-Lendinez and Jessica Johnson fell by a score of 8-5 to make it 1-1 before Villalovos and Dick battled to push the Tigers into the lead.
