Maikel Garcia's 10th-inning hit lifts Royals over Twins
May 25 - Maikel Garcia drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning, and the Kansas City Royals held on for a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. Freddy Fermin also drove in a run for Kansas City, which salvaged a win in the finale of a three-game series. Ty France drove in the lone run for Minnesota, which lost for only the third time in the past 19 games. The Twins managed only three hits. Carlos Estevez (2-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief for the Royals. He walked none and struck out two. Minnesota's Jhoan Duran (3-1) allowed one unearned run on one hit in one inning. He walked none and struck out one. Royals right-hander Taylor Clarke pitched a scoreless 10th to pick up his first save. Both starters received no-decisions despite recording quality starts. The Royals' Kris Bubic limited the Twins to one run on two hits in seven innings. He walked two and struck out nine. The Twins' Bailey Ober gave up one run on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out three. The score was even at 1 at the end of nine innings. Garcia put the Royals on top when he looped a two-out hit into left field. Nick Loftin sprinted past third base and toward home, where he made a foot-first slide to beat the throw from Twins left fielder Willi Castro. The Twins opened the scoring in the bottom of the first. Ryan Jeffers led off the inning with a double to right field, and France drove him in moments later with a single to center. The Royals had a scoring opportunity with runners on second and third with one out in the third. Ober worked out of the jam by getting Vinnie Pasquantino to line out to shortstop and Salvador Perez to line out to left to end the inning. Kansas City had better luck in the seventh. Drew Waters hit a leadoff double to right and scored three batters later on Fermin's double to center. --Field Level Media

Royals outlast Red Sox in 12th for 7th straight win
May 10 - Freddy Fermin roped an RBI single in the 12th inning, after Kansas City's Michael Lorenzen and Boston's Hunter Dobbins both delivered stellar starts, and the Royals recorded a season-high seventh straight win, 2-1 on Friday night. After Cavan Biggio's sacrifice bunt moved placement runner Michael Massey to third, Fermin dropped a Sean Newcomb pitch into left field to send the Royals to their 16th win in 18 games. Lorenzen allowed just three hits and struck out seven without a walk through seven innings. Meanwhile, in his fourth major league start, the rookie Dobbins lowered his ERA to 2.78 after giving up five hits and fanning six, also without issuing a walk, over six innings. The teams combined for just 14 hits. Boston scored the game's first run in the 11th, when Rafael Devers' grounder stopped by Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. allowed placement runner Ceddanne Rafaela to score from third. Devers, who also singled, came through one day after he told reporters he would not oblige the team's request for him to play first base. Having already rather unhappily moved from third base to designated hitter this season after Boston acquired Alex Bregman, Devers met with club owner John Henry about this situation. Kansas City, though, tied it via Vinnie Pasquantino's RBI single in the bottom of the 11th. As Dobbins and Lorenzen continued to duel on the mound, Kansas City posted the first real scoring threat in the bottom of the fifth. Kyle Isbel tripled with one out in the frame, but then was thrown out between third base and home on a ground ball to shortstop by Jonathan India, who was also thrown out trying to take second on the play. In the top of the sixth, Boston wasted a leadoff double from Rafaela. Kansas City threatened again in the seventh when Greg Weissert walked the first two batters of the inning. But Mark Canha then hit into a 6-3 double play and Fermin was out on a liner to right fielder Wilyer Abreu. Steven Cruz (1-0) relieved Daniel Lynch IV in the 12th and got two outs for his first career win. --Field Level Media

Fermin hits a 12th-inning single to give Royals 2-1 win over Red Sox, 16th win in last 18 games
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Freddy Fermin hit a line drive RBI single into left center in the bottom of the 12th inning to give the Kansas City Royals a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Steven Cruz (1-0) pitched the 12th for his first major league win as the Royals won their seventh consecutve game and for the 16th time in their last 18 games. Sean Newcombe (0-4), the eighth Red Sox pitcher of the game, took the loss. Each team scored a run in the 11th after 10 scoreless innings. Both starting pitchers cruised. Kansas City's Michael Lorenzen gave up just three hits through seven innings, striking out seven and walking none. He was helped by his defense, including a diving stab of a line drive by first baseman Salvador Perez in the fourth. Hunter Dobbins didn't allow a run in six innings for Boston, though he did have to work around trouble a couple of times. He gave up two hits in the fourth inning and a one-out triple in the fifth. Devers, who created a firestorm Thursday when he said he wouldn't play first base, prompting Red Sox brass to fly to Kansas City to defuse the situation, was 1 for 5 with an RBI. Key Moment In the fifth inning, Kyle Isbel ripped a one-out triple to right center. With the infield drawn in, Jonathan India hit a slow roller to short. Isbel broke for home and was tagged out in a rundown that ended up in a 6-2-5-4 double play. Key Stat Lorenzen became the third straight starter for the Royals to pitch seven scoreless innings. Up Next The Red Sox will send LHP Garrett Crochet (3-2, 2.02 ERA) to the mound to face Kansas City LHP Cole Ragans (2-1, 3.79) in the second game of the three-game series on Saturday. ___ AP MLB:
