Royals trail the all-time series by a 185-270 margin, including a the Rangers had runners a second base in five of the innings Vargy worked, but the veteran southpaw coaxed 79-151 deficit in the Big Apple, specifically 7-10 in this ballpark.

Central and 4 1/2 games shy in the Wild Card chase...since July 22, the Royals have posted a Major League best 29-11 record and turned an 8-game deficit in the Central into their current 1-game lead...the sweep of Texas gave Kansas City its 11th series win out of the last 13 played, with the club taking sets in Chicago, vs. Oakland (home and road), Minnesota (two at home and one on the road), at Arizona, at Texas, vs. San Francisco and winning a series at home vs. Cleveland before dropping the lone set in this span to the Tribe last weekend...the only series split was a 2-game stop in Colorado.

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...each worked in Wednesday’s win, with Herrera retiring the only man he faced, Davis working 0.1 of an inning and then Holland closing the contest with a perfect ninth for his 42nd save...the trio has combined to allow just 3 earned runs in 69.1 innings in this big league best 29-11 span that began on July 22 for a 0.39 ERA while fanning 74 and holding the opponents to a collective .153 average (36-for-235)...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 30-appearance streak with 28.0-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.

HOMEWORK--Wednesday’s win gave Kansas City a 17-7 record in its last 24 affairs in Kauffman Stadium...the year began with a rough 21-25 home ledger until turning the corner with a win over the Tigers on July 13...the Royals are also seeing a resurgence at the gate in 2014, with KC’s season total up to 1,673,976, which is an increase of 140,367 over 71 home dates a year ago...the Royals have averaged 23,577 per contest this year which paces the total to just under the 1.92 million mark and it would be the highest single-season total since 1993 when KC had 1,934,578 fans attend the 80-game home slate.
