STARTING STAFF BACK ON TOP--Last night it was Ian Kennedy’s turn to continue the Royals’ dominance as a starting staff, tossing 7.0 innings of one-run ball in another no-decision...his performance, combined with the efforts of Danny Duffy, Jason Hammel, Jason Vargas and Nate Karns this season have given the Royals a Major League-best 2.29 ERA through 17 games, well ahead of second-place Texas (3.11)...the Royals have also recorded quality starts in eight of their last nine outings and top the American League with 12 this season, three behind Washington (15) for the Major League lead...individually, Kennedy has allowed a total of three runs in his last three starts, spanning 21.0 innings (1.29 ERA), however he remains winless on the year. MOOSE IS LOOSE--One bright spot on offense has been the production of third baseman Mike Moustakas, who extended his hitting streak to eight games with his RBI single in the sixth inning last night....Moose has hit in 15 of 16 the games he’s registered an official at-bat in this season, while his current streak ties Salvador Perez (April 6-14) for the longest by a Royal in 2017...the 2015 All-Star missed a majority of last year after tearing his ACL on May 22 in Chicago, but enters play today tied for fourth in the American League with five homers, while he’s also 14th in slugging percentage (.559). GONE TO THE WINDY CITY--The seven-game road trip will conclude with Kansas City’s first jaunt to Chicago this season for a three-game set at newly named Guaranteed Rate Field, beginning tomorrow...the Royals have enjoyed their trips to Chi-Town over the last few years, going 27-10 (.730) there since opening the 2013 campaign with consecutive losses...KC was 6-3 in the Windy City last season, when the ballpark was named U.S. Cellular Field...KC trails the all-time series by a 363-375 margin, including a 167-208 deficit in Chicago and 97-116 at Guaranteed Rate Field. BUSY SCHEDULE AHEAD--Following this current road trip, the Royals will enjoy their fourth off day of the season, Thursday, before embarking on their busiest stretch of games in 2017...beginning with Friday’s series opener against Minnesota at home, the Royals will play 33 games in a 34-day period, which includes a 10-game homestand (April 28-May 7) and a 10-game journey with stops in Minneapolis, New York and Cleveland (May 19-28)...the lone reprieve during that span comes on May 15, which dissects a six-game stand against AL East foes Baltimore (May 12-14) and the Yankees (May 16-18). ACE 30 REMEMBERING YO--The morning of January 22, 2017 will always be remembered as one of the most tragic days in franchise history when word was received that pitcher Yordano Ventura had his life cut short due to a car accident in his native Dominican Republic...signed as a 17-year old in 2008, the fireballing right- hander compiled a 38-31 during his abbreviated Major League career...among many highlights, “Ace” will be most remembered for blanking the San Francisco Giants over 7.0 innings in Game #6 of the 2014 World Series to force a seventh and deciding game, while pitching with a heavy heart himself due to the untimely passing of his friend Oscar Tavares...to honor the late Ventura, all uniforms in 2017 will be adorned with the ACE 30 patch.

    The Boston Red Sox Sunday, July 21, 2019 * The Boston Globe Red Sox reliever Josh Taylor comfortable pitching to his strengths Julian McWilliams When the Red Sox traded infielder Deven Marrero to the Arizona Diamondbacks last season, it was for a player to be named later. Nine days later, lefthander Josh Taylor was sent to the Sox and assigned to Double A Portland. His arrival to the organization did not gain much notice. Now Taylor has become an important member of the bullpen. He threw a scoreless inning in Saturday night’s 17-6 rout of the Baltimore Orioles. Taylor has a 3.74 earned run average over 21 appearances and 21⅔ innings while striking out 28. The 26-year-old has allowed one run in his last nine games. What’s been the catalyst for him? “I’m just getting more comfortable with pitching to my strengths than trying to be perfect,” Taylor said Saturday. “I’m just going after hitters and trying to let them hit it versus trying to pitch around them. When you’re trying to pitch around them and not get hit that’s when you tend to make mistakes because you’re less aggressive with your pitches.” Said manager Alex Cora: “He’s been good. He’s been throwing the ball well. He’s a guy that has a big arm. He’s been learning how to pitch at this level. When we sent him down the last time we talked about certain things he needed to do. When he got back we knew he was going to be OK.
