JGUTS BACK ON TRACK--Starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie has recovered nicely from the aberration that occurred on Memorial Day in Yankee Stadium when they jumped him for 11 runs in 1.0+ innings...in his last two assignments, Guthrie has allowed three earned runs in 12.0 innings, while limiting opposing hitters to a miniscule .125 batting average (5-for-40)...unfortunately, each game wound up a no decision despite giving up one run on two hits vs. Cleveland last Tuesday and then tossing 6.0 scoreless frames yesterday vs. Texas before giving up a pair of one-out hits in the seventh and departing with both eventually scoring, as did the tying run. NED TIES HOWSER--Yesterday’s win over the Rangers was the 404th for Ned Yost as the manager of the Royals, tying the late Dick Howser for second all-time on the franchise win list...now 404-431, Ned is only six wins short of White Herzog’s record of 410 wins when he skippered the club from 1975-79..already the all-time leader in games managed in Kansas City with 829, Yost took the reigns in Kansas City on May 13, 2010...this is Ned’s second stint as a big league manager after nearly six years at the helm for the Milwaukee Brewers (2003-2008)...he compiled a 457-502 record with the Brew Crew including a 166-146 mark in his last two seasons. LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF TITLE YEAR--While the 2015 club has been in a funk over the last couple weeks, with yesterday just the third win in the last 13 games, it’s noteworthy that last year’s A.L. Champs were third in the A.L. Central, 6 1/2 games removed from first with a 26-28 record after 54 games...at this stage in ‘14, KC still wasn’t out of the month of May, which finished with a 12-17 mark, before flipping the switch in June to the tune of a 17-10 ledger...Kansas City enters game #55 tonight eight games above .500 and just a game behind these Twins for the top spot.

  • Pronk's Homer Punctuates Sweep of Royals by Robert Falkoff / Special
    Pronk's homer punctuates sweep of Royals By Robert Falkoff / Special to MLB.com | 4/15/2012 8:20 PM ET KANSAS CITY -- The Indians made a statement with their offense over the weekend and Travis Hafner delivered the symbolic exclamation point. In Cleveland's 13-7 victory over the Royals on Sunday, Hafner launched the most majestic of his team's four homers. Hafner's 456-foot blast to right field in the fifth inning off Luis Mendoza traveled so far that it wound up as a souvenir inside Rivals Sports Bar, which is located high above the wall. No word on whether it came down in somebody's order of chicken wings. It was the first homer to land in the Rivals establishment since Kauffman Stadium was renovated in 2009. In short, Hafner got all of it and then some. "I was able to stay back on an off-speed pitch and backspin it," said Hafner, who finished 3-for-4. "I think there have been some [homers] before that measured in the 470s, but that's about as good as I can hit 'em." Shelley Duncan, Casey Kotchman and Jason Kipnis joined Hafner in the home run parade, as the Indians put up runs in bunches and applied the finishing touches on a three-game sweep. Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez, making his return from a five-game suspension, labored through five innings, but got the win thanks to robust offensive support. "The first three innings, it was hard to get in a good rhythm," said Jimenez, who refused to use rustiness as an excuse.
