NEVER SAY DIE AT BATS--The Royals lead the Majors in two-out offense, hitting .291 as a club (93-for-317) with 52 RBI, or 43% of the club’s 122 runs scored to this point...the Cleveland Indians are next with a .281 mark, followed by Texas at .277...Gordon leads all Major League hitters with a .467 average (14-for-30) with two outs, driving in 13 in those situations, while Jeff Francoeur is tied for 14th in the bigs with a .385 mark (10-for-26) and Eric Hosmer is 20th at .361 (13-for-36)...Gordo’s 13 RBI in 2-out at bats are tied for fourth most in the Majors.

West, playing 3-game sets in Anaheim, Oakland and Houston to complete a stretch of 12 of 15 away from “The K”...the Bronx Bombers will be in town for games on Friday (7:10), Saturday (6:10) and Sunday (1:10)...the Royals went 3-4 vs. the Yankees last year, including a 2-2 mark in Kauffman Stadium.

SHIELDS GETS PICKY--Another aspect of James Shields’ arsenal is his pickoff move and the veteran hurler caught Chicago’s Dewayne Wise a little too far from first base yesterday for his first pickoff of the 2013 season and first of the year by a Kansas City hurler...it was the 25th pick in Shields’ career, the first 24 coming in a Rays’ uniform...he led the Majors with 13 picks in 2011, 4 clear of the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw.

Royals Notes - Kansas City Royals @ Baltimore Orioles - Tuesday, May 7, 2013 This & That

RECAPPING THE FIRST FIVE WEEKS--For those seeing the Royals for the first time this year, here’s a quick synopsis of what has taken place over the first month+ of the season...if Mother Nature doesn’t intervene tonight, it will be just the third time since the season began that Kansas City will have played on four consecutive dates without interruption...baseball in the first five weeks was sporadic to say the least, as KC coupled five scheduled days off with four rainouts and a manhunt, featuring one stretch from April 16-26 when baseball was played every two days followed by two days off via weather or the search for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects on Friday, April 19...around the off days, the Royals have gone 17-11 through the first 28 games, one of only four 11-loss clubs in baseball entering tonight’s action...if KC doesn’t fall prey to anymore postponements in the near future, Saturday’s game with Chicago started a streak of games on 13 consecutive dates and 30 of 31 dates (keep you fingers crossed). PITCHING THE KEY--The Royals have turned the tables on a rough 2012 beginning in which the club was just 9-19 after 28 games, by winning 17 of the first 28 this year and enter tonight a game in back of Detroit in the A.L. Central...the biggest turnaround has been on the hill, where the staff had a 4.96 ERA at this stage a season ago while this year’s crew is a run-and-a-half better at 3.33, the second best mark in the A.L...Kansas City’s starting rotation has worked at least 6.0 innings in 21 of the 28 games played to this point, whereas a season ago the starters didn’t have 21 starts of at least 6.0 innings until June 5 in the 54th game...the Royals have had 11 starts of at least 7.0 innings, a number that was not reached in 2012 until July 2 in game #78...KC has also had six games this year with the starter working at least 8.0 innings, a number the starters didn’t attain last year until August 29 in the 129th game and finished last year with eight contests of 8.0 or more frames. HOMERS HAUNTING HERRERA--Reliever Kelvin Herrera was bitten once again by the long ball on Monday, allowing an 11th inning solo blast to Jordan Danks that proved the difference in a 2-1 KC loss in 11 innings...it was the sixth roundtripper that the 23-year old reliever has surrendered this year after entering this season allowing just 5 in his first 86.1 career big league innings...prior to allowing a pair of homers in Atlanta on April 14, Kelvin had gone 75 consecutive appearances and 81.1 innings between roundtrippers. TV MAKE-UPS--The homestand opening rainout against Cleveland on April 26 will be made up on Wednesday, June 19, when the Royals complete a 3-game series in Cleveland...the game will start 6:05 Kansas City time...last Thursday’s contest that was snowed out after 3 1/2 innings against Tampa Bay will be made up by FSKC on Wednesday, May 22, when the Royals conclude a road trip in Houston with first pitch slated for 7:05. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES--The Kansas City pen has the lowest number of innings worked in the Majors at this stage of 2013 with 74.1, which are two outs fewer than the second least used pen from Tampa Bay (75.0)...for Kansas City it’s quite the turnaround from a season ago, when the bullpen finished second in the Majors in total innings worked with 561.1, trailing only Colorado’s 657.0, which stemmed from the Rockies keeping the starters on a low pitch limit. FREEBIES DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY--Kansas City has allowed the second fewest number of freebies allowed in the American League through 28 games with 74, way down from the 113 allowed thru 28 games a year ago (118 after 29 games)...the Royals had a 4.19 walks to 9-inning ratio last year, while this season’s stands at 2.65...KC finished with the third most walks issued in the A.L. last year with 542 in 1,451.1 innings for a walks to 9-inning ratio of 3.36, also third highest. H.O.F. PICKS A FIVE-GAME PACK--The Kansas City Royals have introduced a new ticket package – the Brett Friday 5-Pack – which gives fans the opportunity to purchase tickets for five select Friday home games starting at just $55 – a discounted rate over individual tickets...a limited number of buyers will also receive a free $5 Rally House gift card...the games included in the Brett Friday 5-Pack were hand selected by the Hall of Famer himself and include matchups against the New York Yankees (May 10), (June 7), Oakland A’s (July 5), Washington Nationals (August 23) and Texas Rangers (September 20)...tickets are available in a number of seating categories – Field Box, Field Plaza, Hy-Vee Outfield and Hy-Vee Infield...the Brett Friday 5-Pack is available now for a limited time only ON THE TUBE--The 2013 campaign is the sixth season of the Royals on Fox Sports Kansas City and features 140 telecasts, all of which will be shown in High Definition...Ryan Lefebvre will anchor the booth for 90 telecasts and Steve Physioc will call the play-by-play for 50 games...Rex Hudler will work all 140 games as the analyst...the pre and post-game shows, Royals Live, are hosted by Joel Goldberg, who will be joined at every home game and several road affairs by Royals Hall of Famer Jeff Montgomery. NED AS A ROYAL--The 16th full-time manager in franchise history, Ned Yost, was named to his post on May 13, 2010 and has recorded a 214-264 ledger since taking the reins...included was a 72-90 mark a year ago...this is his second stint as a big league manager after nearly six full campaigns 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...Yost, a catcher during his playing days, began his coaching career in the Atlanta organization, including 12 straight seasons on Bobby Cox’s big league staff (1991-2002).
