Royals Notes - Kansas City Royals @ Los Angeles Angels - Saturday, May 24, 2014 This & That CHALLENGES FEW AND FAR BETWEEN--Kansas City skipper has been the ‘Most Interesting Man in the World’ when it comes to challenges... in other words, he doesn’t challenge often, but he’s been successful when he does, winning his last four...on Sunday vs. Baltimore he challenged a call at second base in the fourth inning as to whether Alex Gordon had beaten a throw...after the review process was complete, Yost had run his season mark to 5-2, while KC opponents are 5-6...last Sunday was only the third time in the last 31 games that Kansas City has initiated a replay review...to review, each manager gets a challenge and for the first six innings and if he challenges correctly, he’ll receive another...calls are defined as either a) Confirmed; b) Stands or C) Overturned.

AS NORI GOES, SO GOES KC--Last night was a rarity for the Royals as Nori Aoki scored a run, but KC did not win the game...the Royals are 16-4 this season when their Japanese import scores at least one run, while the club is undefeated in the four games where Aoki has scored multiple times...the Royals leadoff man paced the offense last night with 3 hits for his 16th multi-hit game of the year – tied for eighth in the A.L. – and fourth time he’s recorded 3 hits or more in a contest.

OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT--While the Royals have won or split seven of their last eight series, the club has taken a more challenging route to get there... KC dropped their fifth series-opening game in their last six sets last night...however, in all but one instance – earlier this week vs. the White Sox – the Royals have rallied to win or split the series...the club also swept a brief two-game Interleague series from Colorado May 13-14...overall, KC is 8-5-2 in 15 sets played.

NORI’S SHORT GAME--Nori Aoki’s daring 2-strike bunt hit with one away on Wednesday night started the game-winning rally but also increased Kansas City’s American League lead in bunt knocks with 11...Aoki and Cleveland’s Asdrubal Cabrera are tied atop the A.L. with 5 apiece...the Royals also lead the league with 47 infield hits, as their leadoff man is tied for second in the loop with New York’s with 11 each, two behind the O’s Adam Jones...Nori’s 85 infield hits since the start of the 2012 season are more than any other player in the Major Leagues.

HOLLY TO THE RESCUE--Greg Holland worked around a pair of baserunners on Wednesday night to record his 13th save of the year, good for second in the A.L...he has made good on 53 of his last 55 tries (96.4%), which is tops among the 12 closers who have at least 35 saves in that span...since May 30, 2013, Holland has 6 more saves than any other pitcher in baseball (Craig Kimbrel - 47) and has allowed just 8 earned runs in 68.2 innings for a 1.05 ERA, holding opposing hitters to a .170 average...he’s also recorded 102 strikeouts in those 67.2 innings, for an A.L.-best 13.37 strikeouts per 9.0 IP.

ROYALS AND MLB TO HONOR MILITARY-- will hold moments of silence prior to all games throughout this Memorial Day weekend to honor those who have died in service to their nation...on Monday, MLB will join the National Moment of Remembrance, an initiative the league has supported since 1997, where afternoon games will be paused for a moment of silence around 3 p.m. local time...U.S.-based clubs will wear specially designed caps and jerseys featuring an authentic military digital camouflage design licensed from the U.S. Marine Corps in honor of Memorial Day, while the will wear a camouflage design based on the Canadian Disruptive Pattern (“CADPAT”) used by Canadian Forces...the Memorial Day effort is part of MLB’s ongoing recognition of veterans, active military and military families...Major League Baseball has committed more than $30 million to Welcome Back Veterans since its inception in 2008, helping to raise year-round awareness of the challenges faced by returning military...MLB and MLB Advanced Media will donate 100 percent of net proceeds from sales of the U.S.-based clubs’ caps and jerseys to Welcome Back Veterans as part of its contribution to the program.

CAMO JERSEYS ON MONDAY--Not only will the players be donning camouflage jerseys and hats for Monday’s Memorial Day matchup with Houston, the first 10,000 fans who enter Kauffman Stadium will also receive a camouflage jersey courtesy of the Royals and Fox Sports Kansas City...first pitch is slated for 7:10 with Yordano Ventura currently the probable starter for Kansas City.

FOX SPORTS CARRIES RECORD NUMBER--Now in its seventh season of carrying the Royals, Fox Sports Kansas City is showing a record 150 telecasts in High Definition, up from the 140 a season ago...Ryan Lefebvre anchors the booth for 95 telecasts and Steve Physioc calls the play-by-play for 55 games...Rex Hudler will work all 150 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...the Royals also have two telecasts in the national Saturday window on the FOX Network, the first today, and three remaining telecasts on the new FS1...KC also has at least one ESPN national game on June 2 from St. Louis.

NED IN HIS FOURTH FULL SEASON--The 16th full-time manager in franchise history, Ned Yost recorded his 300th win as the KC skipper on May 7 in San Diego, and is now 307-359 since he was named to his position on May 13, 2010...he recently passed John Wathan (287) and Hal McRae (286) to move into fourth on KC’s all-time wins list...he is 10 wins shy of catching Tony Muser, who is third with 317 victories...Yost, who managed six seasons in Milwaukee (2003-08), is 764-855 all-time as a Major League skipper.
