CHICAGO (AP) – Mike Moustakas scored the tiebreaking run in the top of the ninth inning 
when White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers could handle a throw home and the Kansas City Royals beat Chicago 2-1 Wednesday in the rubber game of a three-game series.
Moustakas triggered the decisive rally with a lead-off single off Zach Putnam (3-2), the last of four White Sox pitchers. Alcides Escobar bunted Moustakas over before Aoki flared a single to center field.
Adam Eaton’s strong throw beat Moustakas to the plate, but Flowers lost control of the ball when the runner slid into him. Flowers was charged with an error on the play.
Wade Davis (6-2) pitched a scoreless inning and Greg Holland retired the side in order in the ninth inning for his 26th save.
CHICAGO (AP) – Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer was removed from Wednesday’s game with the Chicago White Sox because of decreased grip strength in his right hand.
The Royals made the announcement after Hosmer was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning.
Hosmer had missed the previous two games after being hit in the hand with a pitch on Sunday. Billy Butler, who played first base during Hosmer’s absence, took over for Hosmer.
Hosmer was 0 for 2, ending a 16-game hitting streak. It was the longest active streak in the majors.
Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles has reached a two-year contract extension with the Kansas 
City Chiefs.
A person familiar with the contract said the deal will keep Charles in Kansas City through the 2017 season. He spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the team has not disclosed details.
The six-year NFL veteran ran for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns last year as the Chiefs reached the playoffs. He also had 70 catches for 693 yards and seven more TDs as Kansas City went 11-5 before losing to Indianapolis in an AFC wild-card game.
Bill Snyder is entering his 23rd season at Kansas State University as the head football coach. In that time Snyder has acquired a 178-90-1 overall record.
After just the first six games last season things were not looking good at 
Kansas State as the Wildcats went 2-4, but all four of those losses were by 10 points or less. The Wildcats then went on to win six of their next seven games including a win over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
Looking towards the upcoming season Tuesday during Big 12 Media Days Snyder said that his optimism for the upcoming season changes daily. One thing that he knows for sure is that the players can not take anything for granted.
“My major concern is always young people taking things for granted, and I say young people I probably can reference everybody in our program,” Snyder said. “It is not taking our performance level, our talent level for granted. Not taking the preparation for opponents for granted. Not taking our workouts during the course of the summer for granted. Trying to find that way to get better every single day.”
Snyder continued to say that his is proud of the amount of effort his team has put in over the summer months, but he can’t project what kind of football team that will make them when the season starts.
“I know what we have capabilities of being, whether or not we can reach that level or not is dependent upon a lot of things and the biggest thing is not taking anything for granted.”
Eyes will be on Senior Quarterback Jake Waters this season as he returns for just his second and final season at Kansas State. Waters transferred to K-State from Iowa Western Community College last season and split time at quarterback with Daniel Sams, who has left the team, early last season before taking a more permanent role towards the end of the season.
Snyder explained that Waters is one of those players that will do everything he can and do the little extra to improve.
“He does that consistently and we saw the benefits of that in the later part of last season, and hopefully it continues,” said Snyder.
The K-State offense also returns one of the top receivers in school history Senior Tyler Lockett. Snyder commented that Lockett is another one of those players that will work each and everyday to try and improve.
“He’s one of those guys that you leave the practice field, you go in your office, you look out the window and you’ve got the equipment managers out there twiddling their thumbs wanting to get the lights turned off and Tyler won’t let them because he’s out there catching balls off the machine and keeping quarterbacks out to throw to him.”
Both Lockett and Waters have been named this years Senior Captains along with offensive lineman B.J. Finney, linebacker Jonathan Truman, and defensive end Ryan Mueller.
The Wildcats kick off the 2014 season August 30th at Bill Snyder Family Stadium against Stephen F. Austin.
CHICAGO (AP) – Mike Moustakas homered twice, Bruce Chen pitched five effective innings 
and the Kansas City Royals snapped a four-game losing streak with a 7-1 rout of the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.
Moustakas, who has 12 homers this season, went 3 for 5 with three RBIs.
The Royals entered the game with a major league-worst 55 homers and had managed a total of six runs during the losing streak.
Chen allowed one run and five hits in five innings.
Adam Dunn went 2 for 4 with a solo homer for the White Sox, who had won three of four.
Chicago starter Scott Carroll allowed five runs and 11 hits in five-plus innings.
The Puerto Rico collegiate baseball team scored four runs in the top of the first inning and 
went on to defeat the Junction City Brigade 6-1 at Rathert Field Monday evening.
With the temperature hovering around 100 degrees at first pitch the team from Puerto Rico took advantage of two hits and two Brigade errors to jump out to the early lead. From that point on they were held just five hits the rest of the ballgame, but Junction City could not catch up. The lone run for the Brigade came on a seventh inning home run by Jackson Schnurbush.
It was a depleted Brigade team that played Monday evening. After a big weekend tournament that saw Junction City play seven games in five days and win the 2014 Summer Classic tournament there wasn’t much left in terms of available pitchers. “We were gassed.” Head Coach Shane Sieben also juggled the lineup using some position players that had not started for awhile, and a small number of players were also allowed to miss the game due to the need for a break and to visit family. Sieben noted his team was “kind of lethargic and tired,” but to their credit didn’t quit in the ballgame.
The Brigade will play at Hays Thursday and Friday night.
The Junction City Brigade will play the Puerto Rico Collegiate team in a single nine inning game at 7 p.m. Monday evening at Rathert Stadium.
That is a change from the earlier schedule which had included a doubleheader with two seven inning games at 6 and 8 p.m. The hot weather expected Monday is the reason for the change.
The Junction City Brigade lost their opening game in the 2014 Summer Classic to determine the
Mid Plains League champion, but then rallied to win six straight games and the tournament title at Rathert Field.
On Sunday Junction City needed to win three games to clinch the first ever conference crown. They did just by defeating the Topeka Senators 4-2, the Topeka Golden Giants 4-3 in extra ( 8 ) innings, and then the Giants again by a score of 13-9 to clinch the title on a hot, windy Sunday.
The team was presented with the Cowdin Cup trophy after the final victory.
In addition two members of the Brigade received special recognition. First baseman / designated hitter Brett Nickle was named the Player of the Year in the Mid Plains League, while pitcher Dalton Schalberg was named the Pitcher of the Year in the conference.
