TODAY’S STARTING PITCHERS: RHP James Shields (10-9, 3.43) vs. LHP Scott Kazmir (8-7, 4.17)

NO BETTER TIME TO SNAP SOME O’FERS--A pair of Royals couldn’t have broken out of a couple of dry spells at any better time than Alcides Escobar and Mike Moustakas, who each contributed huge hits to help stake the Royals to a 6-3 comeback win last night, the 41st comeback of 2013...the victory, coupled with Tampa Bay’s loss to Boston, finds Kansas City coming to work today just 3 games back in a tightly packed Wild Card race that has 4 clubs nipping at the Rays’ heels...Escobar’s fifth inning home run tied the game at a run apiece, his fourth blast of the year, but first since April 28, a span of 467 at bats between dingers...he later drove in an insurance run with an eighth inning single...as for Moustakas, his last two hits have been game-winners, though an 0-for-16 stood between those knocks, as he walked off the Mariners in the 13th inning last Thursday and then went silent until a 2-run double in the sixth broke the 1-1 tie and gave the Royals a lead they wouldn’t relinquish...Jeremy Guthrie scattered 9 hits allowing just a run over 6.0 innings, coaxing a trio of double play grounders...after Kelvin Herrera was solved for a pair of runs, Luke Hochevar entered and fanned all 5 Indians he faced to set the stage for Greg Holland to secure his 41st save of the year.

RUBBER GAME #15--This is the third series deciding game against Cleveland this year, with the Royals and Tribe splitting the first two...KC dropped a 6-3 decision here on June 19, but rebounded from a 5-0 deficit at home on July 4 and wound up a 10-7 winner to take that 3-game set...this is the 15th rubber game of the season, with Kansas City posting an 8-6 mark to this point, 4-5 on the road.

44 IN 44 COMES TO AN END--Today pulls the curtain on the grueling stretch of 44 games in 44 days...in the stretch, Kansas City had one day off the field, August 19 at home, with several of the players participating in the club’s charity golf tournament, yet that off day was nulified with a split doubleheader just three days earlier in Detroit...KC has posted a solid 25-18 record through the first 43 days of this stretch.

STAFF MAINTAINS TOP ERA--The Royals continue to pace the American League in team ERA with a 3.53 mark, bettering Oakland in the #2 spot at 3.60 and the Rangers in third at 3.66...by allowing just 1 earned run over 6.0 innings last night, Jeremy Guthrie recorded his 15th “quality start” of the year and Kansas City’s 85th of the season, tying Boston for second most in the American League behind Detroit (95).

H2--A pair of H’s out of the Kansas City pen sealed the deal last night for the Royals, with Luke Hochevar and Greg Holland putting on a dominant performance by retiring the last eight Indians in order, six via the strikeout...Hoch did the heavy lifting, entering with a man aboard and the tying run at the plate in the seventh, but he fanned the last two hitters in that frame and all three he faced in the eighth for a 5-K performance and then Holland worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his 41st save...since August 16, Hoch has allowed one earned run in 14.2 innings (0.61 ERA) with 23 K’s and a .065 opponents average...meanwhile, Holly has fanned 90 hits in 59.0 innings, a 13.73 K per 9-inning ratio.

Royals vs. Indians The Royals broke out of a 6-game slide in Progressive Field with last night’s triumph with today’s rubber game the final battle here in 2013...these clubs will meet three more times next week in Kauffman Stadium...the Royals are 294-312 all-time vs. the Indians, 137-169 in Cleveland and 64-95 in Progressive.Date Site Score WP LP Att.4/27 KC W, 3-2 Santana Kazmir 19,2244/28 (D) KC W, 9-0 Guthrie Masterson 22,0014/28 (N) KC L, 3-10 Kluber Smith 19,8314/29 KC L, 0-9 Jimenez Davis 14,2556/17 @ Cle W, 2-1 Crow Shaw 12,8036/18 @ Cle L, 3-4 Allen Herrera 14,8536/19 @ Cle L, 3-6 Masterson Mendoza 17,3497/2 KC L, 5-6 Allen Collins 15,6257/3 KC W, 6-5 Smith Allen 28,5347/4 KC W, 10-7 Hochevar Shaw 16,7927/12 @ Cle L, 0-3 Kluber Collins 24,0777/13 @ Cle L, 3-5 Kazmir Guthrie 29,7407/14 @ Cle L, 4-6 Hill Collins 15,4329/9 @ Cle L, 3-4 Jimenez Santana 9,7949/10 @ Cle W, 6-3 Guthrie McAllister 12,6159/11 @ Cle9/16 KC9/17 KC9/18 KC

JAMES SHIELDS makes his team-leading 31st start of the year and 249th career appearance (248th start)...this is his 13th career start vs. Cleveland and fourth of the season against the Tribe...he was acquired as the centerpiece of a 7-player deal with the Tampa Bay Rays on December 9, 2012. LOOKING FOR A REBOUND--James surrendered 10 earned runs on 14 hits last Friday, matching a career high in both categories, in a 16-2 loss to the Tigers at “The K”...he lasted just 3.2 innings, allowing 5 runs in the second and was charged with 5 tallies in the fourth, when he departed with 2 outs in the frame...it was his shortest outing as a Royal and shortest since June 11, 2010, when he pitched 3.1 innings in a 14-9 loss to the Marlins while with Tampa Bay...the 10 earned runs were also the most allowed by a Royals pitcher this season...he suffered his first home loss since August 6, a 7-0 loss to Minnesota. BOUNCING BACK--While his bad starts have been few and far-between this season, James has shown a knack of recovering back from a tough outing...in the 5 previous starts where Shields has allowed 4 runs or more this year, he has recorded a quality start (6.0+ IP and 3 ER or less) the next time out...he’s 3-1 with a 2.47 ERA (10 ER in 36.1 IP) in the starts following an appearance where he’s given up 4 runs or more. PICKING YOUR SPOTS--In a start where not a lot went right, Shields did manage to record his third pick-off of the year last Friday against Detroit...he and Mike Moustakas combined to nab Andy Dirks off third base in the third inning...since arriving in “The Show” in 2006, James is tied with Boston’s Jon Lester and Atlanta’s Paul Maholm for the fifth-most picks in the Majors (27)...among the top 10 pitchers in pickoffs during that span, he is the only right-hander. QUALITY AND QUANTITY--James leads the American League in both quality starts (23) and innings pitched (199.2) this season...he also ranks 10th in the A.L. in strikeouts (167) and 12th in ERA (3.43). VS. TRIBE--Shields enters today at 1-5 with a 4.20 ERA (35 ER in 75.0 IP) in 12 career starts against Cleveland...he has yet to record a decision vs. the Indians this year, posting 3 no-decisions, most recently on July 14 here when he allowed 3 runs on 7 hits over 5.0 innings...James’ only win over the Tribe came on May 12, 2011 in a 7-4 triumph here at Progressive Field. ROAD WARRIOR--James brings an 8-3 record and a 2.11 ERA (25 ER in 106.2 IP) into his 17th road start

of the year today...his 2.11 ERA away from “The K” is the best in the A.L., while his .234 opponents’ batting average in his road starts ranks seventh...he is 47-45 with a 4.20 ERA in his career on the road.

This & That

Royals Notes - Kansas City Royals @ Cleveland Indians - Wednesday, September 11, 2013

MOOSE TURNS 25--Kansas City third baseman turns 25 years old today but celebrated a few hours early with a huge double in last night’s win...his date of birth is synonomous with several famous muscians including rapper Ludacris (36), Harry Connick Jr. (46), Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum (32), Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart (70) and Tommy Shaw of Styx (60), as well as fellow big leaguer Jacoby Ellsbury (30)

MAGIC NUMBER ACHIEVED--The Royals blew by the magin 4-run mark last night and in doing so upped their record to 57-12 when scoring at least four times in a game, including a 10-1 mark in the last 11...conversely, the club is just 19-57 when scoring three or fewer.

CHRIS “GETZ” SOME THEFTS--Pinch runner Chris Getz made the most of his abbreviated appearance last night, pilfering a pair of bags in the ninth inning to up his season total to 15...Kansas City continues to lead the Majors with 136 stolen bases on the year, 14 more than the N.L. leading Brewers and A.L. runner-up Texas...the Royals are also second in the Majors in stolen base success with an 82.4 rate, trailing only Boston at 85.5, though KC has attempted 34 more thefts...Alcides Escobar is 18-for-18 in thefts, which has established a single-season consecutive steal record for the Royals, breaking the 16 straight by Gary Thurman in 1989...the club record for consecutive steals over multiple seasons is held by Beltran with 33, while Escobar is currently 25-for-25 dating back to last year.

HOLLY AMONG ELITE GROUP--Closer Greg Holland upped his 2013 save total to 41 with last night’s perfect ninth inning...he’s the fourth different hurler in franchise history to reach at least 40 in a year and accomplishing it for the sixth time overall in team annals...he joins Dan Quisenberry and Joakim Soria, who each hit the 40-mark twice and Jeff Montgomery, who saved 45 in 1993, tying Quiz’s club mark from 1983...Greg has now made good on 34 of his last 35 attempts dating back to May 30...since that date, Holly has four more saves than any other reliever in the Majors, with Craig Kimbrel next with 31, while the A.L. leader in that span is Jim Johnson with 27...a first-time All-Star in 2013, Holland has allowed just 4 earned runs since May 30, spanning 43.0 innings for a 0.84 ERA, while recording 64 strikeouts, a 13.6 strikeouts per 9-inning ratio in that span and limiting the opposition to a .149 average.

PEN STILL TOPS CHARTS TOO--The bullpen continues to lead the American League with a 2.60 mark, trailing only Atlanta’s big league leading 2.32 mark...if the current 2.60 ERA holds up over this final month, it would be the second best A.L. pen since 1982, with only Oakland’s 2.35 relief ERA in 1990 ranking better...Kansas City’s relief corps also leads the American League in lowest opponents batting average with a .223 mark.

DIVISIONAL WORK--Kansas City is 3-2 in this stretch of 12 straight against foes from the A.L. Central...the Royals are now 37-28 in intra-division play, with Cleveland and the Tigers the only opponent KC will face in this dozen game span...KC is currently 11-15 vs. the A.L. West with six still remaining (Seattle-3 and Texas-3)...Kansas City wrapped up play against the A.L. East with the Royals finishing 19-15 vs. that division...KC finished interleague work with a 9-11 record.

GORDO BIDDING FOR GOLD AGAIN--Alex Gordon had his fifth career multi-assist game as an outfielder on August 31 in Toronto to takeover the American League lead in outfield assists with 14, trailing Arizona’s Gerardo Parra by one for the big league lead...since making a position switch from third base to leftfield on a full-time basis in 2011, two-time Rawlings Gold Glove winner Gordon has led all outfielders in the game in assists with 51, 14 more than any active outfielder and 20 more than any other leftfielder...Gordon led the A.L. with 20 in 2011 and finished second to then-teammate Jeff Francoeur’s 19 last year with 17 of his own...the Kansas City outfield as a unit has compiled 137 outfield assists since the start of the 2011 season, 35 more than any other Major League club in that span.

PLENTY OF ROAD WORK AHEAD--The Royals have 17 games left on the 2013 regular season docket, 11 of which are slated for the road...KC enters today with a 36-34 road mark and have a chance to record its first over .500 road season since 2003 when the club was 43-39 out of town...the countdown to the end of the year features today’s series finale in Cleveland, a 3-game visit to Detroit and then the final homestand which features the Tribe in Kansas City next Monday-Wednesday and then following the last off day of the year on September 19, the Royals will play host for the final time in the regular season when Texas invades “The K” for a 3-game set on September 20-22...the final trip is a cross-country venture, with a trio of night games in Seattle on September 23-25 and then a 4-game regular season ender in Chicago.
