Royals lose another to Astros

By Bob Dutton, Kansas City Star May 22 at 11:43 p.m.

HOUSTON — The best thing said about the Royals in their three days at Minute Maid Park is it could have been worse. But for a late rally Tuesday, they might have suffered a sweep against the American League’s worst club.

  • Astros help Royals end four-game skid

    By Bob Dutton, Kansas City Star | May 22 at 9:50 a.m.

    Well, hey, the Royals sure needed this, didn’t they? This being defined as the Houston Astros playing to form when the Royals desperately needed them to do do.

  • Royals still sliding in 6-5 loss in Houston

    By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 21 at 10:38 a.m.

    Monday’s depressing 6-5 loss to the Astros makes four straight one-run losses and 11 losses overall in the last 14 games. The Royals now are looking up at .500 — they are 20-21 — for the first time since the season’s first week.

  • Oakland caps off disappointing weekend for Royals with sweep

    By BOB DUTTON, Associated Press | May 20 at 10:58 a.m.

    The script changed Sunday for the Royals, but not the ending as they concluded a three-game weekend pratfall in the East Bay with a 4-3 loss to the Oakland A’s.

  • Punchless attack sinks Royals in another 2-1 loss to A’s

    By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 22 at 9:45 a.m.

    While the Royals’ rotation is much improved over recent seasons, one run isn’t often going to be enough. It was Ervin Santana who paid the price Saturday night for failing to pitch a shutout in a 2-1 loss to the Oakland A’s.

  • Royals again offer little support for Shields in 2-1 loss to A’s

    May 18 at 5:04 p.m.

    James Shields continues to pitch like the No. 1 guy the Royals expected when they acquired him in that big off-season deal from Tampa Bay. And the Royals continue to waste his efforts. Shields gave up two runs Friday night in eight innings but only found more disappointment when the Royals’ attack again went quiet in a 2-1 loss to the Oakland A’s at the O.co Coliseum.

  • Royals outfielder Dyson likely to go on the DL

    By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 17 at 12:32 p.m.

    The Royals' outfield could be getting a new look as soon as Friday night. All signs point to the Royals putting outfielder Jarrod Dyson on the disabled list because of an ankle injury he suffered Wednesday at Anaheim when he climbed the wall attempting to catch a Mike Trout home run.

  • Royals’ Yost says lineup changes are sign of platoons to come

    By Bob Dutton, Kansas City Star | May 16 at 10:18 p.m.

    Increased playing time in recent games for Jarrod Dyson and Elliot Johnson stems primarily, Royals manager Ned Yost said, from a desire to ride a player’s hot streak.

  • Royals ride seven-run third inning to 9-5 victory over Angels

    By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 16 at 11:37 p.m.

    A seven-run third inning and an eight-run lead and, still, it seemed like the Royals had to hang on all night Wednesday before securing a 9-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

  • Former Royals broadcaster Fred White dies

    By Bob Dutton, Kansas City Star | May 15 at 4:04 p.m.

    The news when it came Wednesday afternoon was surprising only in its suddenness. Those close to former Royals broadcaster Fred White knew he was terribly sick.

  • Angels pound Royals 6-2, end Guthrie’s streak of lossless starts

    By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 18 at 5:04 p.m.

    Albert Pujols, Howie Kendrick, Josh Hamilton and Mike Trout each homered as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Royals 6-2 on Tuesday night in Anaheim, Calif., ending Kansas City starter Jeremy Guthrie’s club-record streak of non-losing starts at 18.

  • Royals, Butler break out in 11-4 win over Angels

    By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 20 at 5:29 p.m.

    Most encouraging, perhaps, for the Royals in their 11-4 victory Monday over the Los Angeles Angels was their season-high 19-hit attack, which included five from slumping Billy Butler — three singles and two doubles — that accounted for five RBIs. Alcides Escobar, Lorenzo Cain and Salvy Perez each added three hits.

  • Yankees sweep slumping Royals with 4-2 win

    By RUSTIN DODD, The Kansas City Star | May 20 at 5:29 p.m.

    Make no mistake, the Royals are in an early-May funk, and this is the kind of streak that looks familiar. The latest loss came on Sunday afternoon, a 4-2 setback against the Yankees that was the Royals’ sixth defeat in their last seven games.

  • Yankees’ win over Royals feels like old times

    By Bob Dutton, Kansas City Star | May 12 at 8:27 a.m.

    This loss was more familiar, at least. For the most part, anyway.

  • Yankees rout Royals 11-6 in series opener

    By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 16 at 2:47 p.m.

    Lyle Overbay had four hits and five RBIs as the Yankees pounded out 16 hits to beat the Royals 11-6 at Kaufmann Stadium.

  • Revised Royals end three-game skid with three homers

    By Bob Dutton, Kansas City Star | May 9 at 11:43 p.m.

    The early returns from the Royals’ new-look lineup offered promise Thursday night by producing three home runs in a 6-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.

  • Royal regression: Ugly inning sends KC to third straight loss

    By Bob Dutton, Kansas City Star | May 9 at 11:15 a.m.

    The good news, if you want to look hard enough, is that implosions like the Royals experienced Wednesday night in the fifth inning are now fairly rare.

  • Bullpen fails again in Royals’ loss at Baltimore

    By Bob Dutton, Kansas City Star | May 8 at 11:35 a.m.

    The continuing battle with Mother Nature is beyond the Royals’ control, but they’d better find a way to fix a suddenly leaky bullpen after Tuesday’s 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.

  • Pitching switch sinks Royals

    BY RUSTIN DODD, The Wichita Eagle | May 16 at 1:07 p.m.

    Here’s the question, the one that hung over the Royals’ 2-1 loss to the White Sox in 11 innings on Monday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium: Should Royals manager Ned Yost have stuck with starter James Shields with a 1-0 lead in the ninth inning, instead of turning the game over to closer Greg Holland?

  • Royals rally in ninth, beat White Sox in 10th

    By Rustin Dodd, The Wichita Eagle | May 16 at 1:07 p.m.

    Alex Gordon hit a walk-off RBI single Sunday as the Royals rallied to beat the White Sox 6-5 in the 10th inning at Kauffman Stadium. Billy Butler hit a two-run double in the ninth inning to tie the game.
