Rookie Jakob Junis would like to stay a little longer next time. Junis pitched eight sharp innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the Seattle Mariners 9-1 to split their doubleheader Sunday. Nelson Cruz homered twice and drove in four runs as the Mariners held off the Royals 8-7 in the first game. Whit Merrifield homered in both games for the Royals. Junis (4-2), who was added to Kansas City’s roster as the extra 26th man for the twinbill, retired his final 19 batters after giving up an RBI double to Danny Espinosa in the second inning. Junis walked none…

(AP) The two newest members of the Baltimore Orioles did exactly what they were brought in to do: help the team win. Baltimore fans can only hope Jeremy Hellickson and Tim Beckham do that consistently enough to carry the Orioles into the postseason. Hellickson threw seven outstanding innings in his Baltimore debut, Beckham had two extra-base hits and two RBI and the Orioles beat the Kansas City Royals 6-0 Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep. The Orioles’ five-game winning streak is their longest since early May, and they now stand just 2 1/2 games behind Kansas City for the…

(AP) Maybe the Baltimore Orioles got this trade deadline thing right, after all. Dylan Bundy allowed three hits over a career-high eight innings, newcomer Tim Beckham had two hits and scored twice and the resurgent Orioles beat the Kansas City Royals 7-2 Tuesday night for their fourth straight victory. The winning streak began over the weekend and gained momentum late Monday after the front office decided to be buyers at the non-waiver trade deadline, obtaining Beckham from Tampa Bay for a minor league pitcher. The acquisition of Beckham followed the trade for right-hander Jeremy Hellickson, who will start Wednesday night.…

According to the Kansas City Star, Jeremy Guthrie, a right-handed pitcher who resurrected his career in Kansas City and started Game 7 of the 2014 World Series, officially announced his retirement from baseball on Monday. Guthrie reflected on his 13-year MLB career and his four seasons with the Royals, which included an American League pennant in 2014 and a World Series championship in 2015 in an essay for The Players Tribune. The Royals originally acquired Guthrie on July 20, 2012, in a trade that sent struggling starter Jonathan Sanchez to the Colorado Rockies. As he arrived in Kansas City, he…
(AP) Rather than dismantle the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline, Dan Duquette worked diligently to improve the club. Appreciative of his confidence, the Orioles backed up his effort with a rousing 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night. Craig Gentry singled home the winning run in the ninth inning, and closer Zach Britton — who was rumored headed out of town hours earlier — got three outs to earn the win. Baltimore started the day with a 50-54 record, but Duquette, the team’s executive vice president of baseball operations, believes the team can be a contender.…
