NEXT STOP MOTOWN--The Royals will head to Detroit for a trio of games in beginning Monday at 3:05 (CDT) due to a scheduling conflict that also has the Detroit Lions opening their season next door that night against the New York Giants...KC has scuffled against their A.L. Central rival in 2014, going 4-9 vs. the Tigers, but three of those victories occurred during Kansas City’s last visit to Comerica Park in June. THE TERRIFIC TRIO--Much of Kansas City’s success can be traced to the seventh, eighth and ninth innings thanks to the trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland, respectively...on Davis worked last night, as he was summoned to finish up the contest due to a tight triceps that sidelined Holland for a day...Davis responded with a pair of strikeouts for his first save as a professional...the trio has combined to allow just 3 earned runs in 70.0 innings in this big league best 30-11 span that began on July 22 for a 0.39 ERA while fanning 76 and holding the opponents to a collective .152 average (36-for-237)...Herrera has a streak of 26.2 consecutive scoreless frames alive, which spans his last 27 outings...the only pitcher in baseball with a longer active streak is Davis, who is in the midst of a 31-appearance streak with 28.2-straight shutout innings...Holland is the only one of the three to be scored upon, allowing 3 earned runs in 21.2 innings (1.25 ERA) since July 22, but has converted 17 of his last 18 save chances, including his 16th consecutive conversion on Wednesday night for his league leading 42nd rescue (tied with Fernando Rodney). ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OFFENSIVELY--It’s been an up and down ride for the offense this year, particularly during this big league best 30-11 stretch since July 22...Kansas City has gone 6-4 in its last 11 games (one game still suspended), while scoring only 30 runs in that span (2.8 per game)...KC has batted .234 (85-for-364) in its last 11 games and scuffled through a .233 average (20-for-86) with runners in scoring position...conversely, in the last 11 road games, in which KC has gone 7-4, the Royals have hit .308 (24-for-78) with runners in scoring position...despite the clutch-hitting struggles during the homestand, Kansas City still possesses the best team mark with runners in scoring position in the A.L. since July 22, hitting at a .302 clip, which is second only to San Francisco in the Majors. FEW CHALLENGES BY KC--Manager has asked for just eight reviews in Kansas City’s last 60 contests, and none in the last 11 games...the last KC challenge was on August 24 in Arlington when Yost won a reversal on a double play call...he and the Royals have been extremely successful this year, going 20-12 in reviews (63%)...on the flip side, KC’s opponents have gone 15-for-36 (42%) in replay challenges. SHARPENING THE SHORT GAME--The Royals did not pick up an infield knock last night, but continue to lead the A.L. with 135 on the year...Kansas City has four in the Top 7 individually in infield knocks with Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain tied for fifth with 23, followed closely by teammates Jarrod Dyson and Nori Aoki tied for seventh (22)...KC is also among the elite in bunt hits with 21 on the season, third most in the American League behind Cleveland and Texas. ONE WAS JUST ENOUGH--Kansas City strayed from its successful formula of scoring at least four times to record a win by taking the 1-0 decision here last night... the Royals are just 16-52 when scoring fewer than four runs, while the club is 62-9 when scoring at least four...since the start of the 2013 season, Kansas City is an astounding 126-23 when scoring four or more. DAVIS AMONG BASEBALL’S ELITE--Wade Davis was asked to earn his first professional save last night and he did so with a pair of strikeouts to extend the Majors’ longest scoreless inning streak to 28.2, while his season ERA of 0.72 is tops in the Majors among all hurlers who have thrown at least 40.0 innings...the last run Wade allowed was on June 25th and has been the lone run surrendered in his last 50.0 innings for a 0.18 ERA dating back to April 26...since giving up two earned runs on April 5, Wade has allowed only two runs over his last 55 outings (57.0 innings) for a 0.32 ERA, while fanning 89...he opened the year going almost four full months without allowing an extra-base hit, but Minnesota’s Kurt Suzuki spoiled the streak with a double on July 31. HOLLY TIED FOR A.L. RESCUE LEAD--Greg Holland picked up his league leading 42nd save on Wednesday night, which was tied last night by Fernando Rodney for the league lead...the last Royals pitcher to top the A.L. in saves was Jeff Montgomery (45 in 1993), while Greg is the first to record back-to-back 40-save seasons since Dan Quisenberry did it in 1983 (45) and ‘84 (44)...Holly has made good of 42 of his 44 tries this year, including 35 of the last 36 and 16 in a row...over a longer haul, Holland has converted 82 of his last 85 attempts (96.5%) since May 30 of last season, the highest percentage among closers with at least 40 opportunities in that span... since that date, Greg has six more saves than any other pitcher in baseball (Craig Kimbrel - 76) and has allowed just 14 earned runs in 107.1 innings for a 1.17 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 109-for-119 in save situations, the best save pct. at 91.6 among closers with at least 100 save opportunities...since becoming Kansas City’s full-time closer on August 1, 2012, Holland has gone 105-for-112 in save situations, the most saves in the majors while Holly’s 93.8 save pct. is the best among relievers with at least 80 save chances. SPEED THRILLS--Kansas City continues to top the American League with 130 stolen bases, 34 more than the runner-up Yankees and Astros...the Royals have swiped 18 in the last 12 affairs...KC is familiar with the top spot in the loop, leading the A.L. last year with 153 thefts...the Royals have three players among the top eight in thefts in the league with Jarrod Dyson third with 33, Alcides Escobar fifth (27) and Lorenzo Cain eighth with his career-high 24.
