Three straight losses to the Kansas City Royals has left a
sour taste in the Minnesota Twins‘ mouths as they prepare to kick off their
final road trip of the season Babe Ruth
Jersey , a 10-game, three-city jaunt that will include stops in
Detroit and Oakland.Minnesota has been outscored 24-11 in the three games and
its frustrations appeared to boil over Friday night in a 10-3 rout by the Royals
at Kauffman Stadium when Twins manager Paul Molitor and third-base coach Gene
Glynn were ejected by home plate umpire Ben May during the Royals’ four-run
fourth-inning rally.The Twins, who fell to 4-10 in September, will try to avoid
a sweep Sunday when they wrap up their season series with Kansas City behind
right-hander Kyle Gibson.Article continues below ...Gibson held the New York
Yankees to one run in 5 2/3 innings in his last outing, allowing just a home run
to Gary Sanchez while striking out five. The Twins, though, managed just two
runs in that game, leaving Gibson on the hook for a fourth consecutive loss and
his sixth in his last eight starts.“Kyle fought; there’s no question about it,”
Molitor said. “He had a few situations he had to pitch around, including some
free passes, but he did well. I was proud of him for how he hung in
there.”Sunday will mark Gibson’s 30th start of the season and his third against
the Royals in 2018. He took the loss in their last meeting after allowing four
runs and six hits and striking out five in 5 1/3 innings. Gibson is 6-5 with a
3.40 ERA in 18 career starts against Kansas City.The Royals have won five of
their last six games and 14 of their last 20, They’ll be trying to close out
their first four-game sweep since taking four straight from the Twins on Aug.
18-21, 2016.“We’re feeling like we’re a quality team right now that’s playing
well,” said Royals left fielder Alex Gordon, one of the few remaining veteran
players on a team in the early phases of a full-scale rebuilding process.
“Whether you’re young or old, we’re just playing together and having fun. That’s
really all that matters. It doesn’t matter who does it, just as long someone
gets it done.”Gordon had three hits, including two doubles Saturday night, and
third baseman Alcides Escobar http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-dale-murphy-jersey ,
another holdover from the Royals’ 2015 World Series run, drove in three while
finishing with three hits.Escobar is batting .319 (29-for-91) with eight doubles
and Gordon has 27 RBIs in his last 41 games.“I’m just trying to stay simple,”
Gordon said. “I’ve been working with (hitting coach) Terry (Bradshaw) and
(quality control coach) Pedro (Grifol) a lot this year and trying to use the
opposite way. Obviously, teams are shifting me, so a lot of my hits are going to
come the other way and that’s what I’ve been trying to do. Not hitting into the
shift but hit it where they aren’t.”The Royals turn to right-hander Jakob Junis
to start the finale. Junis turned in a gem in his last outing, allowing three
runs in eight innings of a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox.Junis has a
2.15 ERA in his last seven starts and hasn’t walked a batter in his last
four.“He’s on a roll right now,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “He’s making
it easier on himself to go deep (into games).”Junis is 0-1 with a 3.43 ERA in
four starts against the Twins. ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Playing with a sore hand
and a banged-up left leg, the Oakland Athletics‘ Jed Lowrie would be the first
to confirm that winning ugly is way better than losing.Lowrie homered and moved
over 1,000 hits for his career, and the Oakland Athletics held on for an 8-7
victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, their ninth win in 11
games.Lowrie took no issue with a potential blowout turning into a nail-biter, a
rare occurrence for Oakland’s bullpen.“Who cares?” Lowrie said. “We won.”The A’s
took the series against the Angels by winning the last two games. Oakland, which
currently occupies the second AL wild-card spot, moved within 2 ½ games of
first-place Houston in the AL West. The Astros have lost four straight.Oakland
is now 36-12 over its last 48 games, the second-best record in baseball over
that stretch, behind the Boston Red Sox. The A’s have taken 13 of their past 16
series.Angels manager Mike Scioscia went with a bullpen day, but the strategy
backfired when reliever Taylor Cole (0-3), making his first career
start Freddie
Freeman Jersey , allowed three runs on three hits in 1 1/3
innings.“It becomes more of a ‘Who’s fresh?’ game than a matchup game with the
bullpen,” Scioscia said. “You try to do your best to put guys in good spots, but
right now we’re not there. We’re looking at whoever’s available to give us
innings. We try to line ’em up as best we can, but we’re not as efficient as it
is if you have the functionality of having starters get to a certain point in
the game, which right now
