ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher limped off the field early in practice Monday, the latest injury to a team that had several players dinged up in its preseason opener.

Fisher, the 2013 No. 1 overall draft pick, was hurt while blocking in a 9-on-7 drill. The third-year pro limped away from the workout, then had his shoe removed as trainers looked at his left ankle. He was later driven to the locker room.

Wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas, offensive guard Jeff Allen and linebacker Josh Mauga were among starters and notables that did not practice. All were hurt Saturday night in Arizona.

The Chiefs are in their final week of practice in St. Joseph. They play Seattle on Friday night before camp resumes next week in Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Hitting with two outs with runners on base in a key situation doesn’t bother Kendrys Morales. He just focuses on getting a good swing.

Morales had an RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning to lift the Kansas City Royals to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday night.

Morales leads with the majors with 42 RBI and a .332 average with two outs.

“I feel good in those type of situations and I’m full concentration and I’m looking for a good pitch to hit,” Morales said with coach Pedro Grifol acting as his interpreter. “I was just looking to make hard contact and thank God it turned out OK.”

Ben Zobrist singled with one out in the 10th, the Royals’ first hit since Eric Hosmer’s RBI single in the first inning. After Hosmer walked, Morales singled against Trevor Gott (2-1) as Kansas City improved to 7-2 in extra-inning games.

“He’s really, really smart and he knows what he needs to do to try to get the job done,” Royals manager Ned Yost said of Morales. “He wasn’t trying to do too much, he wasn’t trying to rip a homer, he wasn’t trying to hit a gap. Just staying nice and smooth, take the ball right back up the middle.”

Kelvin Herrera (4-2) pitched a perfect 10th to pick up the victory.

Zobrist reached base 13 times in the series with seven hits and six walks.

Kole Calhoun homered in the eighth off Wade Davis to put the Angels up 3-2.

Los Angeles closer Huston Street, however, couldn’t hold the lead in the ninth. He walked the bases loaded before Alex Rios’ sacrifice fly scored Hosmer to tie the score. Mike Trout then made a diving catch of Paulo Orlando’s scorcher to right-center for the third out to preserve the tie.

The Angels have lost 17 of 23 and this defeat dropped them a half-game behind Baltimore for the second wild-card spot.

“We have to get something going,” Calhoun said. “We have to get a sense of urgency going.”

Hector Santiago gave up two runs and three hits to the first four batters he faced, but not allow a hit after that before departing after seven innings.

Calhoun also tripled in the sixth and scored on a wild pitch before David Murphy homered.

Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura, who was 3-0 in his four previous starts, was pulled after seven innings and 105 pitches, allowing two runs and five hits, while striking out seven and walking one.

Alcides Escobar singled, his 32nd hit to leadoff the game, and scored on Zobrist’s double. Zobrist scored on Hosmer’s single that extended his streak to 10 games with a RBI, the longest in the majors this season.

Royals catcher Salvador Perez was ejected in the seventh for the first time in his career for arguing a called third strike by home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – C.J. Cron and Kole Calhoun each drove in a pair of runs in the ninth inning Thursday night, rallying the Los Angeles Angels past Kansas City and its stout bullpen for a 7-6 victory and an end to their seven-game skid against the Royals.

Kansas City had built a 5-1 advantage heading to the eighth, but All-Star reliever Wade Davis coughed up two runs in his first appearance since Aug. 6, when a stiff back put him on the shelf.

Greg Holland (3-1) entered in the ninth and gave up a leadoff single, a walk and threw a wild pitch. Cron followed with a pinch-hit double to tie the game, and after Johnny Giavotella singled, Calhoun added his go-ahead double into the right-field corner.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Ian Kinsler doubled home two runs and the Detroit Tigers batted around in a four-run eighth inning to defeat the Kansas City Royals 7-4 on Wednesday night.

Royals right-hander Edinson Volquez (11-7) had retired 13 straight batters entering the eighth, which James McCann led off with a single. Volquez walked Anthony Gose, and Jose Iglesias had an infield single to load the bases with none out.

Kinsler doubled down the left field line to score McCann and Gose to finish Volquez’s night. J.D. Martinez’s single scored Iglesias. Kinsler scored on Tyler Collins’ fielder’s choice grounder as Detroit sent 10 to the plate in the inning.

Two former standouts for the Kansas State Wildcats will be assistant football coaches for the Junction City Blue Jays this upcoming season.

Head coach Randall Zimmerman confirmed his son, Ty Zimmerman, will coach the defensive backs, and Curry Sexton will coach the receivers.  He noted that Ty is still has hopes of getting an invitation from a National Football League team. “He wants to coach down the road. ” Randall  Zimmeman added, “Right now he’s going to help us out. Hopefully for our kids he’s able to stick around, but hopefully for our kids he gets a call too. It’s a win-win situation. In my mind it is.”

Ty Zimmerman played safety for Kansas State where he was a two-time All Big 12 selection,  and during his high school years with the Blue Jays played some safety, receiver, and quarterback. He was a member of the 2008 Junction City team that captured the Class 6A state championship.

Sexton was a receiver for the Wildcats, and captured All-Big 12 second-team honors last season.

Randall Zimmerman said Sexton applied for the coaching job, and noted that  Curry and Ty were  buddies all the way through their K-State years. “I coached him in the Shrine game his senior year. Just got to know him a little bit that way, just a quality person. He’s going to be really good with our kids. ”

Before playing at Kansas State, Sexton played his high school football for the Abilene Cowboys.
