NOT SO CLOSE YESTERDAY--Yesterday’s blowout loss to the Indians was just the seventh time in the last 31 games that a contest involving the Royals was determined by more than two runs...Kansas City has been part of 49 one-run games this year, which tie Minnesota and are two shy of Seattle’s 51 for most in the , while the 26 one-run victories rank second only to Baltimore’s 27...coupled with an 12-21 mark in games decided by two runs, KC has had 81 of its 152 games determined by two runs or fewer (53%)...yesterday was the first time since September 5 that KC has lost by more than two runs, with six of the eight losses since that date of the one-run variety... Kansas City has gone 12-8 in its last 20 one-run games dating back to the beginning of August. BILLY ADDS TO RBI TOTAL--On Saturday night, Billy Butler became the 27th player in Royals’ history to record 100 RBI, and first since Carlos Beltran drove home 100 in 2003...yesterday’s run scoring double upped him to a tie for the 21st best RBI season with 101, matching Beltran from 2001 and Danny Tartabull (1987)...next on the list is a tie for the 19th best year at 102 RBI with Tartabull (1988) and Mike Sweeney (1999) and then 103 RBI with George Brett (1988) and Raul Ibanez (2002). HOLLAND CONTINUES TO ROLL--After working a 1-2-3 ninth inning on Friday night to record the save, Greg Holland is now the only pitcher in the Majors who has been a part of 18 combined wins and saves since the beginning of August...he entered Friday night tied with the Phillies’ Jonathan Papelbon with 17, but the 26-year old righthander, who was thrust into the closer’s role when was traded on July 31, earned his 15th save to go with a 3-1 record since taking over the ninth inning chores...since the first of August, Holland has compiled a 1.46 ERA in 23 appearances, allowing 4 earned runs in 24.2 innings with 8 walks and 31 strikeouts...he has limited the opposition to a collective .191 average in that span (17-for-89) SALVY THE PICKIEST ROYAL EVER--Salvador Perez did it again on Thursday night, nabbing Alexei Ramirez at third base as he strayed a bit too far in the fourth inning, his Major League leading fifth pickoff of the year...Martin Maldanado, Jeff Mathis and Yadier Molina are all next with 3 picks...in just 104 career games and a mere 918.2 innings behind the plate, he has already set the club record for pickoffs with 8, surpassing (1977-80), who picked off 7 runners over a span of 492 games and 4,219.2 innings...Perez nailed his 14th potential base thief last Wednesday night by throwing out Chicago’s Alejandro De Aza in the first inning...Salvy is now 14-for-33 on the year (among catcher ) for a 42% success rate...the opponents stolen base percentage of 57.6 is the third lowest in the Majors among receivers who have caught at least 60 games, since Perez didn’t return from injury until June 22...only the Cards’ Yadier Molina (55.2) and Cincinnati’s Ryan Hanigan (57.1) are lower than Perez. MOOSE ON THE DEFENSIVE--Mike Moustakas had yesterday off and brings a streak of 44 consecutive errorless games into tonight’s action...his last error was on August 1 vs. Cleveland, a span of 134 total chances...Moose was involved in his club record 40th double play of the year on Saturday night, which leads all third basemen in baseball (Miguel Cabrera is next with 31), while shattering the team mark for double plays by a third sacker previously held by Mark Teahen with 34 in 2007...Moose’s .975 fielding pct. is now tied with Milwaukee’s Aramis Ramirez and San Diego’s Chase Headley at .975 for best in the majors...Moustakas leads all Major League third basemen in total chances (433), 29 more than his nearest competition, assists (303) and putouts (119)...Moose also has 146 more total chances than perennial Rawlings Gold Glove winner Adrian Beltre.
