(AP) A trip to California was all the Kansas City Royals needed to get their offense in gear. Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon hit solo home runs and the Royals picked up their fifth consecutive victory, beating the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 on Thursday night. The Royals have now scored at least seven runs in each of their last five games, marking only the third such streak in franchise history. The feat was previously accomplished May 25-June 1, 1978 and Aug. 9-12 1979. The streaking Royals have been getting it done with power, clubbing 14 homers in this unbeaten stretch…

(AP) Kansas State forward Isaiah Maurice was dismissed from the basketball team Thursday for a violation of team rules, leaving the Wildcats even thinner in their front court. Maurice showed flashes late last season of becoming a significant contributor, averaging 5.9 points over the team’s last seven games. The redshirt freshman appeared in 30 games overall, including both of its NCAA Tournament games. Wildcats coach Bruce Weber did not specify the rules violation, but said in a statement that Maurice failed to meet the standards and responsibilities of the program. Kansas State lost D.J. Johnson to graduation, leaving Dean Wade…

(AP) Royals slugger Mike Moustakas didn’t care to get caught up in a debate concerning whether or not his latest home run landed in the waters of McCovey Cove. With Kansas City finally finding a comfortable groove after a rocky start to the season, Moustakas is thinking big picture. Moustakas hit his 18th home run leading off the second inning, Jorge Bonifacio and Lorenzo Cain followed with back-to-back shots in the third and the Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 7-2 on Wednesday to complete a two-game sweep. The win was Kansas City’s fourth straight and left the Royals at…
According to a release from K-State Athletics, K-State senior left-handed pitcher Jordan Floyd was selected on day two of the Major League Baseball Draft as he was taken by the Kansas City Royals in the 10th round (300th overall) Tuesday. Floyd, a native of Topeka, Kansas, finished his K-State career as the program’s all-time leader with 91 relief appearances and his 12 career saves tie him for fourth on K-State’s career list. In his senior season, Floyd totaled 30 1/3 innings pitched and matched his career high with 30 strikeouts. Appearing in 21 games, the 6-2 southpaw was 10-for-10 in…
(AP) His surgically repaired left elbow no longer a concern, Jason Vargas is pitching better than he has at any time in his career. That and a solid rapport with veteran catcher Salvador Perez have Vargas on quite a roll. Vargas pitched seven strong innings, Alcides Escobar hit a two-run double in a six-run sixth and the Kansas City Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 on Tuesday night. Vargas’ nine wins are tied for most in the majors with Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw and Dallas Keuchel of the Astros. They are five shy of Vargas’ career high set in…

(AP) The Golden State Warriors brought Kevin Durant to the Bay Area last summer for the express purpose of winning an NBA title and erasing the memory of last year’s collapse against Cleveland in the finals. Mission accomplished. Durant pumped in 39 points and the Warriors won their second championship in three seasons by taking Game 5 of the finals, 129-120 over the Cavaliers. The All-Star forward shot 14-for-20 from the field, including 5-for-8 from 3-point range in helping Golden State close out its third title since the franchise moved from Philadelphia in 1962. Durant was named MVP of the…
