Game #142 - Road Game #73Fox Sports Kansas City (HD) & KCSP Radio (610 Sports)

LUKE HOCHEVAR makes his 29th start of 2012, his 129th career appearance (125th start), and his 16th career appearance (15th start) and fourth of 2012 against the Twins...he was KC’s first-ever first overall pick (2006). DRY SPELL REACHES UNLUCKY SEVEN--A couple of swings last Thursday at home against the Rangers spoiled what could have been a good outing as he took a no decision in a game that was won by Texas, 5-4, in 10 innings...Hoch retired the first 10 Rangers he faced and carried a 3-0 lead into the fourth before surrendering back-to-back homers to Josh Hamilton (2-run) and Adrian Beltre (solo) which knotted the score...the Rangers briefly took the lead in the seventh off Hoch and he exited down 4-3...he is 4 strikeouts shy of matching his career best of 128 set last season. A DUEL IN THE DOME--A memorable battle of overall first picks took place on August 21 in St. Pete, with the 2006 first choice, Luke Hochevar, doing battle with 2007 #1 pick David Price...the duo exchanged zeroes for eight innings each, before giving way to their respective pens and Kansas City ultimately prevailed, 1-0 in 10 innings...the lone hit off of Hoch was a third-inning double by Luke Scott, while he walked 3 and fanned 10, his third-career double-digit K game...he joined Zack Greinke (8/30/09 at SEA, 9 IP, 1 H) as the only Royals pitchers to toss at least 8 innings of 1-hit ball since 1997. UP & DOWN SEASON--Hochevar has 12 quality starts, but also has 8 rough outings that have blown his ERA out of proportion at 5.36...he has allowed 7, 9, 7, 6, 5, 6, 7 and 8 earned runs in eight of his 28 starts, totaling 55 earned runs over 31.0 innings (15.97 ERA)...in his other 20 trips to the hill, Hoch has surrendered just 41 earned runs over 130.1 frames for a 2.83 mark. VS. MINNESOTA--Hoch lasted just 1.2 frames in the second game on September 1 and dropped an 8-7 decision to the Twins...Minnesota plated 4 runs in both the first and second frames, 7 of which came on two swings of the bat, home runs from Chris Parmelee and a grand slam by Joe Mauer...the 1.2-inning outing was the shortest of his career...Hoch is 0-2 with an 8.59 ERA in 3 starts against the Twins in ‘12, allowing 14 runs on 19 hits in 14.2 innings...his only start here came on June 30, a 5-1 loss (6.0 IP, 8 H, 5 ER), in the second game of a doubleheader sweep...he is 4-5 with a 5.57 ERA (84.0 IP, 89 H, 52 ER) in 15 career outings (14 starts) against Minnesota, including a 1-2 mark with a 6.48 ERA (25.0 IP, 18 ER) in the Twin Cities, 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA (22.0 IP, 11 ER) at Target Field. ON THE ROAD--Luke has secured 5 of his 7 wins this season away from home, posting a 5-7 mark with a 4.82 ERA (84.0 IP, 88 H, 45 ER) in 14 starts...he is coming of back-to-back 8.0-inning road efforts, tossing 8.0 shutout innings on just 1 hit in St. Pete against the Rays on August 21 before allowing 5 runs (4 earned) in an

8.0-inning complete game loss on August 27 at Boston...Hoch is 17-30 with a 5.98 ERA in 60 career road efforts, including 58 starts.

SALVY STRETCHES PERSONAL & TEAM MARK--22-year old receiver Salvador Perez extended his hitting streak to a career best and team high 15 games by going 2-for-4 last night with a sacrifice fly...he and the Nationals’ Ryan Zimmerman are currently tied for the longest active hitting streak in the majors and one more game would tie Salvy with A.J.

SALVY SOLVING TWINS--Salvador Perez has been most impressive when going head-to-head against these Twins, hitting safely in 8 of the 9 games played this year at a .406 clip (13-for-32) with a .563 slugging pct,..since joining “The Show” last August, Salvy has hit .392 (20-for-51) while hitting in 12 of 14 contests.KC ON THE DEFENSIVE--Despite committing an eighth inning error last night, just the fourth in the last 15 games, Kansas City has turned the corner defensively over the last month...dating back to August 6, a span of 34 games, the Royals have committed the fewest number of errors in the majors with 13 and their .989 fielding pct. also tops the big league charts...KC turned a pair of double plays last night to up its season total to 150, second only to Minnesota’s big league leading 165...for the second straight season the outfield defense is leading the majors in assists with 41, 9 more than second place Oakland, while also leading the way with 11 double plays.MOOSE TOPS THIRD SACKERS--Mike Moustakas continued his Gold Glove caliber defense last night with his 34th consecutive errorless game at third base...he’s not committed an error since August 1 vs. Cleveland, a span of 106 total chances since that miscue...Moose has been involved in a club-record 38 double plays this season, which leads all third basemen in baseball (Miguel Cabrera is next with 29), while shattering the team mark for double plays by a third sacker previously held by Mark Teahen with 34 in 2007...Moose’s .973 fielding pct. is the best in the American League among third basemen, just ahead of the Rangers’ Adrian Beltre (.972)...Moustakas leads all Major League third basemen in total chances (405), assists (284) and putouts (110)...Moose also has 123 more total chances than perennial Rawlings Gold Glove winner Beltre.BUENO BACK TO WORK--Reliever Francisley Bueno has completed his two-game suspension after appealing an original three-game suspension stemming from a perceived retaliation incident in 2008 when he was pitching for Atlanta...the incident took place in his first and only big league appearance prior to joining the Royals this year and the suspension had been held in abeyance until his appeal was ruled upon...the 31-year old southpaw has appeared in 10 games for KC going 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA.TV ADDITION--The Royals and Fox Sports Kansas City have announced that this Sunday’s home game against the Angels has been added to the schedule to make-up for the rainout of August 31 vs. the Twins.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER--Kansas City plated a ninth inning run last night on Eric Hosmer’s 14th homer, giving the Royals a 64-27 advantage over their opponents from the ninth inning on this year...the largest run differential comes in the ninth inning, when KC holds a 54-16 lead in the final scheduled frame...the Royals also plated 3 more runs last night after two were out in the inning, giving the club 55 of its last 89 tallies (62%) after two out...KC has also been among the best at knocking in runs with runners in scoring position of late, hitting .341 (57-for-167) since August 20, topping the majors in that span (Baltimore is next at .326)...Billy Butler and Mike Moustakas are tied with the Angels’ Torii Hunter for seventh in the A.L. in two-out RBI with 34.STRONG VS. CONTENDERS--Sunday’s win upped Kansas City to 17-12 over the last month that has seen them play 9 of 11 series against teams vying for post-season work...in that span, KC has gone 7-2 vs. the White Sox, 3-0 vs. Detroit, 2-1 vs. Oakland, 2-2 at Baltimore, 2-5 vs. the Rangers and 1-2 at Tampa Bay...the Royals will impact the final outcome of the race in the A.L. Central with 3 games remaining against the White Sox (all in Kansas City) and 7 vs. the Tigers (4 in Motown and 3 in Kauffman Stadium).HOLLAND CONTINUES RESCUE STREAK--Kansas City closer Greg Holland has quickly established himself as one of the best in the business since taking over the role when Jonathan Broxton was dealt to Cincinnati on July 31...he worked around a pair of walks and a double, ending Sunday’s game with back-to-back strikeouts to record his 13th save in as many chances since becoming the full-time closer...in the 13 games he has rescued, Holland has allowed just two earned runs in 13.0 innings for a 1.38 ERA, while limiting the opposition to a .191 average (9-for-47) and fanning 17...Holland’s 13 saves since July 31 lead the American League and rank second among all big league closers behind Aroldis Chapman’s 14 with Cincy.
