Gordon long ball in ninth leads Royals over Orioles
Baseball Betting Lines
07/30/2010 -
Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Gordon hit a game-winning three-run
homer with two outs in the ninth, and the Kansas City Royals put together a
fierce rally to stun the Baltimore Orioles, 7-5, in the second of four games
at Kauffman Stadium.
Alfredo Simon (2-2) came on to protect Baltimore's one-run lead in the ninth,
but couldn't convert the save opportunity.
The first two Kansas City batters were quickly retired, but Rick Ankiel kept
the game alive with a walk. Wilson Betemit followed with a single through the
infield's right side to put runners on the corners, and Gordon ended the game
by belting a Simon offering well over the wall in right field.
The homer made a winner of Blake Wood (1-2), who pitched a scoreless inning of
relief.
It was Gordon's first career game-ending home run. The once highly touted
third baseman was playing in just his seventh game since being recalled
earlier this month. He was converted to an outfielder in the minor leagues and
hit just his second home run of the season in 19 games.
Betemit finished with three hits and two RBI, while Ankiel reached base three
times, drove in a run and scored twice, as the Royals snapped a five-game
losing streak.
Ty Wigginton had three hits and drove in two for the Orioles, who have lost
six of seven. Nick Markakis added two hits and three runs scored in defeat.
The Royals grabbed the early lead, scoring three runs in the first with two
away.
With runners on second and third following a Jose Guillen fly out, Ankiel
plated one with a double, and Betemit brought in two more with a base hit to
right.
The Orioles managed to tie the game with single runs in three separate
innings.
Felix Pie's sacrifice fly in the second got Baltimore on the board, and
Markakis singled with two down in the third and scored on Wigginton's double
for a one-run game.
In the sixth, Markakis led off with a walk, moved to third on Wigginton's
single and scored on Luke Scott's sacrifice fly for a 3-3 score.
Yuniesky Betancourt led off the home half of the inning against Jason Berken
and singled to right. Mitch Maier stepped up and doubled in the runner for a
4-3 KC lead, although the hosts couldn't push Maier across to increase the
advantage.
The Orioles went ahead with two runs in the eighth.
With Kyle Farnsworth on the mound, Markakis led off with a single and quickly
came around to score on Wigginton's double. Luke Scott followed with another
base hit to send Wigginton to third, and Wigginton scored on the next play
when Betemit committed a fielding error.
Game Notes
Home plate umpire and crew chief Wally Bell exited the game in the sixth
inning with heat exhaustion and dehydration. He was replaced behind the plate
by second base umpire Todd Tichenor...The Orioles went 1- for-10 with runners
in scoring position and are 2-for-35 in such situations in the last five
games...The season series is tied, 2-2.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
