| "We score one run, two runs. If this club was doing anything near what it's supposed to be doing offensively, we'd be in third place and not very far out of first." As it stands, Detroit is a season-worst 11 games below .500, leading the last- place Kansas City Royals by just a game. The Tigers are also 8 1/2 games off the pace in the division. They finished the month of May with a 10-17 record, and the start of June doesn't look so promising. Earlier in the season, it was the starting pitching that was strugglin |

| (Best E Casino) - The Chicago White Sox aim to pad their lead atop the American League's Central Division and shoot for a three-game sweep of the wayward Kansas City Royals in tonight's series finale from U.S. Cellular Field.

Konerko followed a leadoff walk to Carlos Quentin by belting the first pitch he saw off Jimmy Gobble ov |

Hernandez received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals, as he allowed eight runs (6 earned) and 13 hits in six innings of a 9-8 win. He had allowed six runs (5 earned) and 10 hits over 5 1/3 frames of a no- decision in his previous trip to the hill. In 12 starts this season, the 33-year-old right-hander |

For all the problems the Kansas City Royals have, they can take solace in this: The Seattle Mariners are keeping right with them for the worst record in the American League. After a baserunning blunder cost the Royals a chance to score the tying run Friday night, Indians outfielder Grady Sizemore held on to a deep fly ball while crashing into the wall and preserved a 5-4 victory - the 12th consecutive defeat for Kansas City. The Royals blew a 4-1 lead while creeping to within one of the 13-game losing stre |

A lot of pain,'' Indians manager Eric Wedge said before a game against the Kansas City Royals. ``He's still having pain with that shoulder and we just need to give him more time. It's more a strength issue than anything. He's just not able to get where he needs to get fundamentally. Send him home and start getting after it tomorrow.'' Afte |
