Royals vs. Rockies VARGY LEADS KC TO SERIES WIN IN MINNY--The steady work of southpaw Jason Vargas continued These clubs met way back in games #38 and #39 on the last night as he held the Twins to a run on four hits over a 7.0-inning stint to record the 6-4 victory and give the year for Kansas City, with the Royals taking both contests in Royals their eighth consecutive series victory...Vargy, who entered last night with a streak of 14.0 consecutive Kauffman Stadium...KC now has an 11-9 edge all-time vs. the scoreless innings against Minnesota, extended it to 20 before allowing a solo homer to Oswaldo Arcia in the Rox, including a 5-7 ledger here in Coors Field, where Kansas seventh...meanwhile, the KC offense took advantage of three walks from Minnesota starter Trevor May in the City last visited in 2011.

Central into a 2-game advantage during that stretch...despite losing the first four games after the All-Star break, KC’s overall 21-9 post-break record and .700 winning pct. is the best in the Majors. SERIES STREAK ROLLS ON--The 3-1 stop in Minnesota gave the Royals their eighth consecutive series win, a streak that began on July 22 when the Royals rebounded from a series opening loss in Chicago to take the final two games and start this run...since then KC has won at home vs. Cleveland, Minnesota, at Oakland, at Arizona, at home vs. San Francisco, at home vs. the A’s and now in Minnesota...this is the first time the Royals have won as many as eight series in a row since Kansas City won nine straight from July 17 - August 14, 1991...last night’s win also put KC 14 games over .500 for the first time since August 9, 1994, when the club was 64- 50, but unfortunately the season actually came to an abrupt halt after a loss the following day due to the ‘94 work stoppage...a victory tonight would push the Royals 15 games over break-even for the first time since August 6, 1994, when a loss to Seattle dropped the season record to 63-48. THE SCHEDULE DWINDLING--Kansas City enters tonight with 38 games remaining on their 2014 regular season docket and a 69-55 record, which puts the Royals a season high two games up in the Central Division standings...of the 38 remaining games, 24 of them are against clubs who are currently at or below .500, including the Twins (3), the White Sox (7), Texas (6), Boston (4) and this final Interleague stop in Colorado (2)...as for remaining opponents with winning records, the Royals have six games to go with Detroit, six with Cleveland and four more with the Yankees (three in the Bronx, one in Kansas City). SUCCESSFUL INTERLEAGUE YEAR WINDING DOWN--The Royals will closeout what is already their best-ever season against National League competition with this 2-game stop in Coors Field against the Rockies...the most recent work against the National League was a 3-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants in Kauffman Stadium on August 8-10 to up Kansas City’s 2014 Interleague mark is 14-4, the best record and best winning pct. (.778) in the Majors in 2014...KC’s previous best win total against the Senior Circuit was 13-5 in 2008...this year the Royals have gone 2-0 vs. the Giants, 3-0 vs. Arizona, 2-0 vs. Colorado, 2-1 vs. San Diego, 3-1 vs. St. Louis and 1-2 vs. the Dodgers.

FEW CHALLENGES OF LATE--Manager Ned Yost did not ask for review in last night’s game, and has challenged just 6 calls in Kansas City’s last 43 contests...despite missing on a challenge Friday night in Minnesota, Yost has been extremely successful, going 19-11 in reviews on the year...conversely, Royals’ opponents have been successful just 43.3 percent of the time (13-for-30). STARTERS DOING THEIR PART--Since July 22, the Royals have posted a big league best 21-5 ledger with the hurlers compiling an overall ERA of 2.89, the fifth best mark in that span in the Majors...in the 21 victories, the staff has compiled a 2.23 ERA while holding opposing hitters to a .212 overall batting average...in those 21 wins, the starters have won 14 and possess a 2.40 ERA and an opponents BA of .209...since getting his legs back under him following an emergency appendectomy in early July, Jason Vargas has allowed only one run in his last 16.0 innings while posting wins in back-to-back starts...meanwhile, tonight’s starter James Shields, has made five starts since July 22 and has gone 2-1 with a 1.75 ERA, holding the opposition to two or fewer runs in four of the five starts. GORDO CHASING BOGGS--Alex Gordon may not know it, but he’s honing in on a Hall of Famer after clubbing his 115th career home run in yesterday’s win...he is now just three homers shy of Wade Boggs, who hit 118 during his Hall of Fame career and currently stands as the all-time home run leader for a Nebraska native. KRATZ JOINS SHORT LIST--Reserve catcher Erik Kratz made his presence felt in a hurry last night, as the veteran receiver was called up on pinch hit in the seventh inning for an ailing Salvador Perez and clobbered the first pitch over the leftfield fence, while breaking his bat in the process...when he batted in the ninth, his bat stayed in tact and he clubbed a ball just out of the reach of centerfielder Danny Salazar for his first career multi-homer game...it was the third 2-homer contest for the Royals this year, matching the efforts of Alex Gordon (May 18 vs. Baltimore) and Mike Moustakas (July 22 at Chicago). THE BACK END OF THE PEN--Kansas City’s recent success can be traced to the seventh, eighth and ninth innings of late thanks to the combination of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland, respectively...they have combined to allow just 3 earned runs in 47.0 innings in this 21-5 span for a 0.57 ERA while fanning 52 and holding the opponents to a collective .172 average (28-for-163)...Herrera, who worked the ninth inning in Sunday’s win, has posted 11.0 shutout innings since this stretch began on July 22, while he enters this tonight with the second-longest active scoreless inning streak at 19.1 frames spanning 19 outings...the only pitcher with a longer streak is Davis, who worked a scoreless eighth last night and is in the midst of a 22-game streak with 20.2-straight shutout innings, which includes 13.2 shutout frames since July 22...Holland is the only one of the three to be scored upon, allowing 3 earned runs in 14.1 innings (1.88 ERA) since July 22, but converting 13 of 14 save chances, including one last night and 12 in a row. WADING THROUGH THE OPPOSITION--Wade Davis extended his scoreless inning streak to 20.2 with a scoreless eighth last night...the last run he allowed was on June 25th and has been the lone run surrendered in his last 43.0 innings for a 0.21 ERA dating back to April 26, easily the top ERA in the Majors since that date among hurlers with at least 30.0 innings of work...since giving up two earned runs on April 5, Wade has allowed only two runs over his last 46 outings (49.0 innings) for a 0.37 ERA, while fanning 79...he nearly made it four full months without allowing an extra-base hit, but Minnesota’s Kurt Suzuki spoiled the streak with a double on July 31. HOLLY ADDS TO RESCUE LEAD--Greg Holland upped his league leading save total to 38 last night by recording the final two outs...the last Royals pitcher to lead the A.L. in saves was Jeff Montgomery (45 in 1993)...Holly has made good of 38 of his 40 tries this year, including 31 of the last 32...over a longer haul, Holland has converted 78 of his last 81 attempts (96.3%) since May 30 of last season, the highest percentage among closers with at least 40 opportunities in that span...since that date, Greg has seven more saves than any other pitcher in baseball (Craig Kimbrel - 71) and has allowed just 14 earned runs in 100.0 innings for a 1.26 ERA...he recorded his 100th career save on August 8 and since posting his first career save on August 3, 2011 vs. Baltimore, Holland has gone 105-for-115 in save situations, the best save pct. at 91.3 among closers with at least 100 save opportunities...since becoming Kansas City’s full-time closer on August 1, 2012, the day after was dealt to Cincinnati, Holland has gone 101-for-108 in save situations, the most saves in the majors while his 93.5 save pct. is the best among relievers with at least 80 save chances. ESPN PRESENCE AHEAD--KC’s recent run has caught the eye of the decision-makers in Bristol, CT, as the Royals will be on ESPN2 next Monday when they host the Yankees in a make-up game from a June 9 rainout...the Royals have also been tabbed the Sunday Night Game on August 31 vs. Cleveland, necessitating a game time switch from the traditional 1:10 Sunday starts to 7:07 to accommodate the World Wide Leader...ESPN Radio will get an extended look at the Royals as Jon “Boog” Sciambi and Chris Singleton will be in town for Saturday, August 30 thru Monday, September 1 for a trio of broadcasts. TRIP ENDS IN ARLINGTON--Kansas City will leave here following tomorrow’s tilt and head to Texas, where KC will enjoy Thursday off before opening a weekend series against the Rangers in Arlington...it will be the first regular season meeting between the cohabitants of the Surprise Sports Complex in spring training...the Royals were 3-3 vs. the Rangers last year, including a 1-2 stop in Arlington...KC leads the all-time work by a 243-239 margin...once this trip is completed, the Royals will have just 13 road games remaining while 20 will still be ticketed for Kauffman Stadium. GORDO HEATING UP--Alex Gordon was not able to participate in the 2014 All-Star Game due to injury, but he’s found his stroke in the unofficial second half...since the All-Star break, Gordo has hit .343 (37-for-108) with a .405 on-base pct. and .519 slugging percentage (5 doubles, a triple and 4 homers) and 18 runs scored in 30 games...his second-half OPS (on-base plus slugging) of .923 is 151 points higher than his ‘first half’ number (.772)...on the year, he’s third in the American League with a .358 average with runners in scoring position. RUNNIN’ ROYALS--The Royals did not steal a base last night, but continue to sit atop the American League theft chart with 110...the Royals have four of the top 21 base thieves in the A.L. with Jarrod Dyson fourth with 27, followed closely by Alcides Escobar in fifth (24), while Lorenzo Cain is tied for 11th with 18 and Nori Aoki tied for 19th (15)...KC’s no stranger to this ranking after leading the Majors last year with 153.
