Were loose and not thinking about it much, knowing if we go out and play our game, good things are going to happen.Guyers hit off Joakim Soria landed just fair in the right-field corner and scored Coco Crisp. Guyer was the third pinch-hitter of the inning used by manager Terry Francona.Brian Flynn (1-2) walked Jose Ramirez to start the ninth, then fumbled a bunt by Crisp, batting for Lonnie Chisenhall, down the first-base line for an error.Catcher Salvador Perez threw Ramirez out at third on Abraham Almontes sacrifice attempt. Rajai Davis, batting for Tyler Naquin, hit a hard ground ball that deflected off Sorias foot and rolled to first baseman Eric Hosmer for the out.Guyer, batting for Roberto Perez, then delivered with the winner that fell in despite a sliding effort by right fielder Paulo Orlando.I wasnt sure if it was going to be fair or foul, Guyer said. I rounded first base and saw the umpire say fair and I started celebrating.The Royals, the reigning World Series champions, will be eliminated from contention in the division if they lose to Cleveland on Wednesday night.The ball was fair by a couple of inches, where you cant get to it, Royals manager Ned Yost said.Kansas City advanced a runner to third with one out in the eighth, but Andrew Miller (9-1) struck out pinch-hitter Christian Colon and Whit Merrifield before retiring the side in order in the ninth.Carlos Santana led off the third with his 33rd home run. Alex Gordons RBI single tied the game in the fifth.Royals starter Edinson Volquez gave up one run in 6 1/3 innings.JOSHS CHANCEIndians starter Josh Tomlin allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings.Tomlin, because of injuries to Carlos Carrasco (broken right hand) and Danny Salazar (strained right forearm), will be in the postseason rotation if the Indians advance. He began the season 9-1 but was sent to the bullpen after going 0-5 in August.Carrasco and Danny are a key part of that rotation, Tomlin said. Were trying to do the best we can to help win the Central and get into the playoffs and play deep into the playoffs.CALL US BACK, OK?Right-hander Tyler Plutko learned he was being promoted to the Indians in a most unusual fashion -- while he was a groomsman in his best friends wedding Saturday in California.They had literally just got done saying `I do and taking pictures, he said.

Youre hoping your guys can keep it close and give your offense a chance to somehow get even or take the lead late. But weve had a tendency to put some crooked numbers up late on the wrong side of the board.Brian Dozier led off the bottom of the first with his 42nd homer, one behind major league leader Mark Trumbo of Baltimore.Minnesota has lost five straight and dropped to a big league-worst 55-97, its most losses since they went 63-99 in 2011.The offense is having a tough time, Molitor said.
