The Kansas City Royals, based in Kansas City, Mo., participate in Major League Baseball (MLB) and are a member of the American League Central Division. The Royals were founded in 1969 and since 1973.
NEW YORK — Looks like the new Yankee Stadium might have the same bad vibes as the old Yankee Stadium for the Royals. Just two outs from their first victory at new Bronx colossus, the Royals had it snatched away, 4-3, as the Yankees rallied against reliever Kyle Farnsworth in the ninth inning. "It was [...]
NEW YORK — To the Royals, the new Yankee Stadium seems much like the old Yankee Stadium. "When you're walking out from underneath onto the field, it's not much different," said outfielder Willie Bloomquist. "They did a really good job of making it seem like the same stadium — with a few upgrades. "The look [...]
NEW YORK — The title was in the bag, there was a second-string lineup on the field and still the Yankees kept on rolling on Monday night. The Royals found the new Yankee Stadium just as inhospitable as the old joint, losing, 8-2, to the American League East champions, who notched their 101st victory. At [...]
NEW YORK — If you happen to tell pitcher Anthony Lerew that he has some Elvis-esque sideburns, he'll ask a question. "Did you ever hear of a cowboy named Lash LaRue?" Lerew asks. Well, sure. Who among us who's slightly mature hasn't heard of LaRue, the famous bullwhipping cowpoke of so many B-movie westerns in [...]
KANSAS CITY — Talk about Zack on the attack. That was the theme on Sunday as the Royals' Zack Greinke burnished his Cy Young Award credentials with a sweet 16th victory. Masterfully working his way out of pitching peril, Greinke went seven innings of a 4-1 victory over the Twins at Kauffman Stadium, where the [...]
KANSAS CITY — Through the whim of the schedule makers, the Royals are the last club to visit new Yankee Stadium in its inaugural season. So it'll be a new experience for virtually everyone on the roster except outfielder Josh Anderson. He was there this season as a member of the Detroit Tigers. "It's nice, [...]
KANSAS CITY — There's no stopping the Minnesota express, not at Kauffman Stadium anyway. Denard Span drove in six runs and the Twins knocked off the Royals, 11-6, on Saturday night for their fifth consecutive victory as they kept up with Detroit in the American League Central race. Minnesota has won 11 of its past [...]
KANSAS CITY — Sunday's series finale will be the 15th time the Royals and the Twins have squared off this season, and oddly enough, none of the previous 14 games have involved Zack Greinke. "This is the first time I'm facing them and I still don't know how I'm going to pitch to them," Greinke [...]
KANSAS CITY — Billy Butler went 4-for-5, whacked two home runs and had four RBIs, but it wasn't enough for the Royals on Friday night at Kauffman Stadium. The Twins defeated the Royals, 9-4, gaining ground in their quest to overtake Detroit in the American League Central. By winning for the 10th time in 11 [...]
KANSAS CITY — Guys are always messing up things. Just ask the ladies who watched the Royals on Girls Night Out at Kauffman Stadium. The Kansas City boys made five errors that accounted for six unearned runs in a 10-3 loss to the Red Sox as 20,807 fans, many of them gals at the special [...]
