News » their speed to score as pinch runners in the ninth

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jarrod Dyson loves to boast about what speedy base runners can do. Dyson and Terrance Gore used their speed to score as pinch runners in the ninth inning as the Kansas City Royals rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Monday night. "He knows hes got the ability to steal the tough base," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Mike Moustakas doubled with one out in the ninth. Dyson ran for him and stole third and came around to score as Jake Petricka (1-5) threw a wild pitch. After Nori Aoki doubled with two outs -- for his fourth hit of the game -- Gore, who was called up from the minors on Sept. 1 to primarily be a pinch runner, ran for him and scored from second on Lorenzo Cains infield single. "I was definitely going to be safe," Cain said. "I just put it in play and ran. They ended up bobbling the ball and Gore scored. I was definitely thinking hed field it and hold on. (Cain is) fast. Its a huge win for the boys." It was a bizarre ending to a game that the White Sox led 3-0 going into the seventh. "It was strange," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "When you see a play like that you think thats OK, you can give it to them and try to get the next guy, but then they get another one. That kid (Gore) is fast. Speed can do a lot of things." Wade Davis (9-2) worked a scoreless ninth to pick up the victory, extending his scoreless streak to 31 2-3 innings. White Sox starter John Danks pitched six scoreless innings and allowed just two singles, both by Aoki, before departing after 103 pitches. He struck out six and walked four. Danks, who has a 1.73 ERA at Kauffman Stadium, has never lost to the Royals in 15 career starts. The Royals scored all their runs off three White Sox relievers. Royals right-hander James Shields, who had his career best 18 1-3 scoreless innings streak ended in the first, gave up three runs and 10 hits, while striking out six and walking none in seven innings. "We had a lot of opportunities, but he came through," Ventura said. "We never got the big hit to put it out of reach. He was tough." Avisail Garcias two-out single in the first scored Adam Eaton. Eaton, who had three hits, led off the White Sox third with a double and scored on a Shields wild pitch. Conor Gillaspie singled home Alexei Ramirez with the second run of the inning. Eric Hosmer hit a double into shallow left off Javy Guerra to open the seventh and scored on Omar Infantes single for the first Kansas City run. Aoki led off the eighth with an infield single, advanced to second on Gillaspies throwing error, took third on a Zach Putnams wild pitch and scored on Alex Gordons single. AOKIS BIG NIGHT Aokis four hits, two that did not leave the infield, matched his career high, last accomplished on Sept. 20, 2013, against St. Louis. He also walked, reaching base five times. Aoki, who swings left-handed, is hitting .360 against left-handed pitching. It was his fourth multi-hit game in his past eight games. UP NEXT White Sox: RHP Chris Bassitt will make his fourth career appearance and third big league start Tuesday. Bassitt has allowed 14 hits, walked seven and hit two batters in 13 1-3 innings. Royals: RHP Liam Hendriks, who retired only seven of the 15 batters he faced in a loss Thursday to Boston, will make another spot start Tuesday. TRAINERS ROOM White Sox: DH-1B Paul Konerko (fractured left hand) took batting practice and could return to the lineup this week. Royals: LHP Danny Duffy (sore shoulder) will miss another start. He is scheduled to throw a 50-pitch four-inning simulated game Tuesday. If he has no problems, he will start Monday at Cleveland. . DH-OF Josh Willingham (groin strain) said he is available to pinch hit. He has trouble running, but not swinging. Johnny Bucyk Jersey . Not that he was complaining. Davis had 13 points, nine rebounds and a career-high eight blocks, and the New Orleans Pelicans emphatically snapped a three-game skid with a 135-98 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
