Opportunity Knocks

The Royals continue their winning September ways with a 4-2 victory over the Twins. Despite issuing seven free passes (four by the bullpen), Gil Meche and the Royals relievers allowed just two runs, holding the Twins to 3 for 13 with runners in scoring position. It seems the sweep of Chicago took a lot out of the Twins.

The loss drops the Twins into a tie with the White Sox, but one game down in the AFLIC. If Chicago can pull off a victory against the Indians tonight, then the White Sox just need to win their last two games to earn a division title. Cleveland and Chicago are tied at one in the third.

Update: Asdrubal Cabrera hits a bases loaded double in the fifth to put the Indians up 4-1. After an intentional walk to Sizemore, Jamey Carroll doubles down the rightfield line to drive in two more and chase Javier Vazquez from the game. Choo adds a single against Clayton Richard and the Indians are still batting leading 7-1.

Update: The White Sox starters, in their last five games, allowed 26 runs, all earned in 25 innings. They've walked nine, which isn't horrible, but allowed 38 hits.
