Guzman, Calhoun go deep as Rangers roll past Royals

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward was hoping Willie Calhoun’s arrival from Triple-A Nashville would help ignite a club that had slogged through five straight losses.

Calhoun did exactly that.

A two-run homer in the first inning by the former top prospect set the tone, Ronald Guzman added a two-run shot of his own and the Rangers rolled to a 6-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.

“He comes in and is kind of the spark player that gets us going,” Woodward said about Calhoun. “I’m not surprised. I’ve seen that bat. He’s got amazing hands with that swing. It was nice to see.”

Shin-Soo Choo added a solo shot in the ninth inning and Nomar Mazara matched a career high with four hits as the Rangers won for the sixth time in their last eight games against Kansas City.

Mike Minor (4-3) got through five rocky innings, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks.

“I would grade it as a ‘C’ by his standards,” Woodward said. “But it showed a lot of our guys that you don’t have to have your best stuff to be successful.”

Guzman drove in a run in the fourth before sending a hanging pitch from Jorge Lopez (0-5) booming into the center field seats in the sixth. The two-out shot broke open a 3-1 game and sent Lopez, who had plunked two batters and struggled with command all night, trudging toward the showers.

Lopez allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out seven.

“Command got him,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He was fighting command up to the point he elevated his pitch count. He got burned on his two center-cut curveballs for home runs.”

Calhoun, called up from the minors before the game, got the Rangers off to a good start. The erstwhile elite prospect sent a first-inning pitch from Lopez soaring into the seats over the right-field bullpen, the no-doubt shot staking Texas to a 2-0 lead.

“His first night, he comes up and when you have a guy like Mike Minor pitching, getting ahead is huge,” Mazara said. “He really got us going.”

Kansas City answered by manufacturing a run in the bottom half against Minor, whose last appearance at Kauffman Stadium came as the Royals’ closer in the final game of the 2017 season. But after Adalberto Mondesi’s RBI single, the veteran left-hander escaped the rest of the inning unscathed.

It wasn’t the last time he negotiated trouble.

Minor also stranded runners on second and third in the second and fourth, and he pinned another runner 90 feet from home in the fifth. By the time that inning ending, Minor had survived a shaky night and has still allowed just 11 earned runs over his last 55 innings.

“He was making pitches close to what he wanted to do. I just kept helping him out,” the Royals’ Whit Merrifield said. “He was throwing fastballs up and in, out of the zone. I don’t know why I kept swinging at them, but I kept swinging at them.”

The Rangers’ bullpen allowed only one hit over the final four innings.

STATS AND STREAKS

Minor allowed leadoff singles in four consecutive innings. … Calhoun’s homer was the fourth of his career. … Choo’s homer snapped an 0-for-13 skid. … Lopez and the Reds’ Sonny Gray (0-4) are the only two pitchers in the majors with at least nine starts and no wins. … Kansas City was 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position after going 9 for 19 the previous night.

INJURED ELVIS

Texas put shortstop Elvis Andrus on the injured list with a strained right hamstring after he left Tuesday night’s game in the seventh inning. Woodward is hopeful Andrus will be ready to return in 10 days. “You don’t want this to linger with him,” Woodward said.

ROSTER MOVES

Calhoun was joined from Nashville by left-hander Jeffrey Springs to provide a fresh arm in the Texas bullpen. Right-hander Wei-Chieh Huang was optioned to the same club.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Rangers right-hander Shawn Kelley could be activated in the next couple of days, Woodward said. Kelley has been dealing with a bacterial infection. … Woodward said right-hander Ariel Jurado will likely start Saturday against St. Louis. Woodward plans to get “creative” with his starter Sunday because left-hander Drew Smyly has a slight ankle sprain and his next turn could get pushed back.

UP NEXT

The Royals wrap up their homestand Thursday by sending Homer Bailey (4-3, 4.83 ERA) to the mound against Texas right-hander Lance Lynn (4-3, 5.48). Kansas City has lost 12 straight rubber games dating to May 30 last year, and has not won a series against the Rangers since July 2016.

AP sources: New York Jets trade linebacker Darron Lee to Kansas City Chiefs for 6th-rounder

Posted on

NEW YORK (AP) – Two people with direct knowledge of the deal say the New York Jets have agreed to trade linebacker Darron Lee to the Kansas City Chiefs for a sixth-round draft pick.

The deal Wednesday night is pending a physical, according to the people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the move.

It also comes on the same day the team fired general manager Mike Maccagnan and installed coach Adam Gase as the acting GM while the Jets begin a search for a replacement.

Lee was New York’s first-round pick in 2016, but was mostly disappointing in his three seasons with the Jets. He was suspended by the NFL for the final four games of last season after violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Lee’s spot on the Jets’ roster was uncertain after New York signed C.J. Mosley to anchor the inside linebacker position with Avery Williamson. Lee had been the subject of trade rumors all offseason.

Royals score early, blow out Rangers in series opener

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Hunter Dozier drove in three runs, top prospect Nicky Lopez had an RBI single in his big league debut, and the Kansas City Royals routed the Texas Rangers 11-5 on Tuesday night.

Alex Gordon and Jorge Soler also drove in two runs apiece for the Royals, who scored nine times in the first two innings while quickly knocking Rangers starter Shelby Miller from the game.

Danny Duffy (2-1) was only marginally better for Kansas City, using 107 pitches just to survive five innings. He allowed four runs, seven hits and a walk while striking out seven.

Miller (1-3) was pulled with two outs in the second. The veteran right-hander allowed eight runs and seven hits with two walks in another ugly performance in his return from Tommy John surgery.

Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus left with tightness in his right hamstring after grounding out to end the seventh inning. He will be evaluated again Wednesday in another blow to a team that has lost five straight to fall a season-worst five games below .500.

The Royals pounced on Miller right from the start, sending seven to the plate in the first inning and jumping out to a 3-0 lead. But they cracked the game open in the second, when they sent 11 batters to the plate and drove in six runs against Miller and Rangers reliever Wei-Chieh Huang.

The stunning offensive outburst came after Kansas City managed six singles and no extra-base hits in a loss to the Phillies on Sunday. And it came after the arrival of second baseman Nicky Lopez, one of their top prospects, who got the start at second base and hit second in the lineup.

He walked in the third before his first career hit, a two-out single in the seventh inning.

Joey Gallo had a pair of RBIs for the Rangers, who tried to climb back into the game with a four-run third. But they stranded runners in four consecutive innings, repeatedly failing to get the crucial hit they needed to avoid a 1-6 start to their nine-game, 10-day road trip.

NICKY’S NUMBER

The Royals originally made up No. 19 jerseys for Lopez, but he asked to wear No. 1 because it was the number his father wore in softball. New jerseys were made and arrived before first pitch.

ROSTER MOVES

The Royals made roster space for Lopez by sending right-hander Jake Newberry to Triple-A Omaha and designating first baseman Frank Schwindel for assignment. The Royals are hopeful Schwindel clears waivers and they can keep him in their organization.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Rangers left-hander Cole Ragans, their first-round pick in the 2016 draft, will need a second Tommy John surgery after tearing his ulnar collateral ligament. The 21-year-old Ragans was close to pitching in a game for the first time since his last surgery when he began feeling discomfort about a week ago.

“It’s obviously concerning,” said Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, adding that surgery will be Wednesday. “This is the first Tommy John surgery we’ve had that’s failed.”

UP NEXT

The Royals hope Jorge Lopez (0-4, 6.07 ERA) can get on track Wednesday night after a blowout loss to the Astros. He goes against former Royals pitcher Mike Minor, who is 3-3 with a 2.68 ERA for Texas.

Hays bid for state tournament falls short

Posted on

Hays entered the post season as the #2 seed for the west half of 5A at 19-1.  The record and seeding allowed for the Indians to host a regional tournament at Hays High School.  The only loss for Hays on the season came against Great Bend.  Unfortunately the second loss of the season to Great Bend will also keep Hays out of the 5A state tournament.

Game 1

A bases loaded home run by freshman Dylan Dreiling lifted the tension of a first inning deficit for Hays High on their way to a regional tournament semi-final win.  Newton plated three in the top half of the first inning on a hit batter, two singles and an Indian error.  Willie Sennett was hit in the head by a pitch, Palmer Hutchison was plunked and Trey Riggs singled to load the bases with one out.  Dreiling saw just one pitch with two outs in the inning.  He deposited that pitch over the right center fence for his fourth home run of the season.

Highlights

 

The lead allowed starting pitcher, Hutchison, to settle in.  He and the defense allowed just two more Newton base runners the remainder of the game.

Dominic Bainter provided an RBI in the third and fourth inning.  Prior to Bainter’s fourth inning hit that scored Dylan Dreiling for the final 9-3 difference, Trey Riggs belted a three run home run for an 8-3 advantage.

Coach Frank Leo

 

Palmer Hutchison went all seven innings allowing four hits, walking two, hitting a batter and striking out seven.  Newton’s Ben Schmidt took the loss as the Railers end the year at 2-19.  The victory for Hays High moves the Indians to 20-1.

 

Game 2

Wichita Northwest jumped out to a quick 2-0 in the first inning before Great Bend plated four in the second inning and never trailed again.  The Panthers pushed their advantage as high as 7-2 after the top of the sixth inning and led 7-3 after six which was the final score.  Colin Hall threw just 85 pitches in a complete game victory for Great Bend.

 

Championship Game

Great Bend scored a pair of runs in the top of the first on a two run double and held that lead through three innings against Hays in the Regional Championship Game.  Hays was quiet offensively through the first three innings.  Cody Petersen got to second base on a two base error, Palmer Hutchison was hit by a pitch, then both advanced on a wild pitch.  Two pitches later Trey Riggs scorched a single up the left field line to tie the game at two.

Highlights

 

Hays threatened to score in the fifth with two on and one out but was turned away.  Great Bend took advantage of an error in the sixth bring around a run for a 3-2 lead.  Hays went in order in the sixth and seventh innings around three runs in the top of the seventh for Great Bend.  The Panthers advance to the 5A State Tournament with a 6-2 victory and will enter the tournament at 10-10.  Hays ends the year 20-2 with both losses to Great Bend.

Coach Frank Leo

 

Trey Riggs takes the loss six and a third innings.  Cody Petersen pitched two thirds of an inning in relief.  Townsend Kurth threw just 61 pitches in a seven inning victory.  He hit one batter, did not walk any and allowed just three hits while striking out one.

 

The loss also marks the final game in the 39 years of Frank Leo’s career.  He leaves the program after 576 victories.

Hays High soccer advances past Central

Posted on

By JEREMY McGUIRE
Hays Post

HAYS, Kan.-Head Coach Silas Hibbs wanted his Hays High girls soccer team to score some goals in the opening round of the 5A State Soccer Tournament and score they did in a 3-0 win over Salina Central. It took the Lady Indians a while to get on the board in the first half. The freshman combination of Kamree Leiker and Caroline Robben provided the first goal for Hays as Leiker chased a ball down the right side of the field and found Robben who punched it in to give the Lady Indians the 1-0 lead in the 36th minute. That would be the only score of the first half and proved to be the game winner.

Robben would strike again in the 67th minute for a 2-0 advantage for the Lady Indians. Kallie Leiker would add the final goal of the night off an assist from Robben for the eventual 3-0 tally. Hays High showed their depth as they controlled the ball throughout the match and really wore Salina Central out down the stretch.

The Lady Indians improve to 11-1-5 on the season and will travel to Valley Center on Thursday to face the Hornets who were 2-0 winners over Wichita Northwest on Tuesday. Game time in Valley Center is set for 6pm.
