ARLINGTON, Texas -- David Lough was willing to endure a little pain to help the Kansas City Royals win. Robbie Ross hit Lough with a pitch with the bases loaded to force in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, and the Royals beat the Texas Rangers 4-1 Saturday. Lough thought he had a broken right wrist when he left the game after getting plunked. His fears worsened when he couldnt move his fingers for about 20 minutes. Lough was finally able to enjoy the three-run 10th inning that lifted the Royals to only their second win in 11 games. "I had the X-rays and a lot of strength came back in my arm after that," Lough said. "Im glad we got the win more than anything." Ross (2-1) had only allowed one run in 24-1-3 innings this season before Saturday. The left-hander gave up a leadoff single to Alcides Escobar in the 10th. Eric Hosmer followed with a single and Billy Butler was intentionally walked to load the bases. Ross struck out Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain before Lough came up. Lough was hit on a 2-1 pitch to force in the go-ahead run. That snapped Ross scoring streak at 20 1-3 innings. "Stuff is going to happen no matter what," Ross said. "I have to bounce back and get back to helping the team win." Lough left the game after getting plunked with a fastball in the right arm. The rookie outfielder tried to stay in the game but slowly walked off the field in obvious pain as he was replaced by pinch-runner Jeff Francoeur. George Kottaras, who entered the game in the ninth inning, lined a two-run double over the head of Nelson Cruz in right. The Royals had only scored 22 runs in their past 10 games and were 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position before Kottaras broke the game open. "It was a big win," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "(Ross) is one of their guys who has been throwing good." Aaron Crow (1-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings of scoreless relief and Greg Holland worked a perfect 10th for his ninth save in 11 chances. The Rangers had runners on second and third with two outs in the ninth but Crow retired Jurickson Profar on a foul pop to end the threat. James Shields, who had lost his last four starts, allowed one run in seven innings as he looked to win for the first time since April 30. He gave up five hits, struck out five and walked one. In Shields previous four starts, the Royals had only scored seven runs behind him. "I dont care about run support as much as winning the game," Shields said. "Ive got to do a better job pitching." Nick Tepesch made his first career start against his hometown team and allowed an unearned run in 6 1-3 innings. The rookie gave up seven hits and struck out two. Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre left the game after the ninth inning with tightness in his left hamstring. Beltre was injured running the bases in the fourth. Rangers manager Ron Washington said Beltre is day to day. Texas designated hitter Lance Berkman was ejected for arguing a called third strike in the first inning. Berkman took a 2-2 pitch from Shields that home plate umpire Todd Tichenor ruled was a third strike. The Rangers first-year designated hitter was tossed from the game after a brief argument with Tichenor. "I didnt think I said or did anything that would warrant the ejection," Berkman said "But he obviously felt different." Shields retired 10 in a row before the Rangers scored in the fourth. Beltre and Cruz singled with two outs. Mitch Moreland then lofted a soft single to centre that scored Beltre and put the Rangers ahead 1-0. Tepesch grew up in Blue Springs, Mo., about 15 minutes from Kansas Citys Kauffman Stadium. The right-hander needed only eight pitches to retire the side in the first and recorded nine groundball outs through four innings. Kansas City tied the game in the fifth when Lough singled with one out and scored on A.J. Pierzynskis passed ball. NOTES: Washington said Alexi Ogando (right biceps tendinitis) will throw a bullpen session Sunday. The right-hander allowed two unearned runs in a rehab start for Double-A Frisco on Friday night. Washington said the team will make the decision whether to activate Ogando after the bullpen session. .

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Fitz is in.Again.Ryan Fitzpatrick will be the New York Jets starting quarterback Sunday against the New England Patriots, with coach Todd Bowles making the announcement after practice Monday.Hes healthy, hes been our starter, Bowles said. I dont see anything that could change that right now.Fitzpatrick sat out the Jets previous game against Los Angeles on Nov. 13 with a sprained left knee. Bryce Petty made his first regular-season NFL start and went 19 of 32 for 163 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the 9-6 loss.Bowles said last week that he would consider which quarterback would give the Jets (3-7) the best chance of winning against the Patriots (8-2).Hes been playing all year, Bowles said of Fitzpatrick. He knows more of the system. He can do more things. Hes been the starter. I dont give away jobs. Youve got to take a job. Bryce has gotten better and hell be ready to play if called upon.Still, Bowles said he was leaning all along toward choosing Fitzpatrick, as long as the quarterback showed he was healthy enough to practice and play this week. He just needed Fitzpatrick to practice Monday to reaffirm his decision.Im excited to get out there and play versus New England and just try to rally our guys, Fitzpatrick said. This is something I really enjoy doing and really enjoy doing it with these guys in the locker room, so were looking forward to it.Fitzpatrick is tied with Jacksonvilles Blake Bortles for the NFL lead with 13 interceptions, and his 67.6 quarterback rating is the worst among quarterbacks with 150 or more passing attempts. He was benched earlier in the season in favor of Geno Smith. But Fitzpatrick regained his job when Smith was lost for the season with a torn knee ligament.When Fitzpatrick hurt his knee at Miami on Nov. 6, many fans and media figured it was the perfect opportunity for the Jets to play Petty the rest of the way to see what they have in last years fourth-round draft pick instead of a veteran who likely wont be re-signed as a free agent in the offseason.And, if Petty faltered, the Jets could theoretically give second-rounder Christian Hackenberg a look for the final game or two. That, however, is a philosophy Bowles doessnt subscribe to.ddddddddddddI actually know quite a bit about both of them, so its not paramount for them to play right now, Bowles said.And, right now, Fitz gives us the best option. You dont have to play a person just to see what they have. Pettys time will come. So, well be patient with that.With the players back at the facility for the first time since last Tuesday following a bye-week break, Fitzpatrick was able to test out his knee after having two full weeks to heal.Just getting treatments over the bye was nice, he said, and then today at practice just going out there and making sure that it felt as good as I thought it would, which it did.Fitzpatrick will play with a brace on the knee, something that gives him extra peace of mind. He also insisted it will not affect his play or mobility.Many fans hailed the Jets for re-signing Fitzpatrick to a one-year, $12 million deal on the eve of training camp.He was coming off a franchise-record 31 touchdown passes, and New York finished a win out of the playoffs at 10-6. But his brutal start and the piling losses had many of those same fans ready to turn the page on the veteran and look ahead to the younger quarterbacks.I think we play for each other, we play for the name on our jerseys, we play for a lot of different things, Fitzpatrick said. Its just one of those things. Its been a tough year, but we all still enjoy this game and playing with each other, so were going to go out there and give it everything we have.For Petty, its back to being a backup -- and waiting for another opportunity.Nothings changed for me, Petty said. Thats Coachs decision, so Im going to respect that. He knows whats best for the team.When asked if he was disappointed in the Jets going back to Fitzpatrick, Petty sidestepped the question.My feelings are irrelevant, he said. They really are. Im not going to focus on me because that takes away from the team. Again, nothings changed and Ill continue to prepare like Im the starter and get better every day.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
