KANSAS CITY, Mo. Air Max Skor Rea . -- Danny Duffy trudged off the mound with the bases loaded and his team trailing by a run, and took a seat in the dugout to watch Jason Frasor try to bail him out. He roared when the Royals reliever struck out Chris Colabello to end the threat. "He came through with flying colours," Duffy said with a smile. Buoyed by the clutch pitching, Kansas City churned out three doubles in the bottom half of the inning Wednesday night, scoring all their runs in an eventual 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. "Frasor was huge with the bases loaded," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Just about everybody who stepped on the mound for Kansas City came up big. Duffy allowed only a homer by Josh Willingham over 5 2-3 innings, despite walking a season-high six. Scott Downs and Kelvin Herrera gave back a run in the seventh, but Herrera struck out Brian Dozier and Willingham with runners on second and third to preserve the Royals one-run lead. Wade Davis worked a perfect eighth, and All-Star closer Greg Holland survived two wild pitches that sent Eduardo Nunez to third base by striking out Sam Fuld for his 28th save. "Anytime you lose a battle like that its frustrating, especially with game on line," Fuld said. "Holland made a great pitch. We battled him." The Twins Phil Hughes (10-8) showed no lingering effects from a comebacker off his right ankle that cut short his last outing. He allowed only three singles before the sixth, when the Royals were able to finally string together a series of hits that gave them the lead. Omar Infante led off the sixth with a single and Salvador Perez added a tying double moments later. Alex Gordon followed with an RBI double to centre, and Mike Moustakas pulled another run-scoring double just inside the first-base line to give Kansas City a 3-1 lead. The Royals bullpen and defence made each run seem huge. Perez made the first of several memorable plays in the third inning, when he picked Nunez off first base with a snap throw. Duffy picked Fuld off first in the fourth, and Dozier was thrown out at the plate on a base-running mistake later in the inning. "Im trying to make an aggressive play," Dozier said. Perezs best play may have come in the seventh, when he leaped from the behind the plate to grab a sacrifice bunt and throw the runner out at first. Herrera followed with his strikeouts to leave the go-ahead run standing on second. "That was a big play right there," Yost said. "That was a great play by Sal." WADE IN THE WATERS Davis continues to dazzle in his setup role. His scoreless eighth inning Wednesday night gave him a 0.99 ERA in 43 games. The former starter is still the only pitcher in the major leagues with more than five appearances who hasnt allowed an extra-base hit. GORDO DOUBLES UP Gordon finished 3 for 4 with two doubles, the All-Star left fielders first three-hit game at Kauffman Stadium since May 18, against Baltimore. It was the first time he had two doubles in a game since doing it April 12, in Minnesota. WILLINGHAM THE LONER Willingham has hit 11 homers this season, eight with nobody on base. That includes the last six. And the fact that the bases were empty when he went deep Wednesday night proved costly when Minnesota was unable to coax another run across until the seventh inning. TRAINERS ROOM Twins: Catcher Joe Mauer (strained right oblique) took batting practice in the cage without any problems. Right-hander Mike Pelfrey began his throwing program after surgery on June 10 to relieve numbness caused by a nerve in his throwing elbow. Royals: First baseman Eric Hosmer was in the lineup for the second straight night after missing time with a bruised right hand. He finished 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.

Royals: Right-hander Yordano Ventura (7-8) tries to improve his fortunes at Kauffman Stadium, where he is 3-6 this year. His last home win came in relief July 13 against Detroit.

PAUL, Minn. -- Ryan OReilly made sure the Colorado Avalanche kept up their strong play. OReilly scored twice, including the game-winner with 7:16 to play, and the Avalanche beat the Minnesota Wild 4-2 Saturday night. Gabriel Landeskog and Maxime Talbot also scored for Colorado, winners in five of seven. OReilly had his first two-goal game of the season. "Its a big win for us. This is not an easy barn to play in. They play a consistent game and do a great job. Theyre very detailed and they make you play tough," OReilly said. Colorado finished a season-high seven-game homestand Friday with a 4-1-2 record to strengthen its hold on third place in the Central Division behind St. Louis and Chicago. "Tonight meant a lot of confidence for us and two points are big when were going to an even tougher barn in Chicago (on Tuesday)," OReilly added. Charlie Coyle had his first career two-goal game for Minnesota, which lost for the first time in five games, and is eight points behind the Avalanche. "Its not like we played terrible that game," Coyle said. "We can learn from stuff, carry it over to tomorrow night and go from there." Minnesota visits Nashville on Sunday. Tied 2-2, and after Ryan Suters uncharacteristic turnover in the Wild end, OReilly sent a pass to Matt Duchene in the right corner. Duchene sent the puck back to OReilly who lifted a backhand over the left shoulder of Niklas Backstrom from below the right circle. OReilly was back in the lineup after missing two games with a bruised shoulder. "Everything was possible in the third," Colorado coach Patrick Roy said. "It was just a matter of sticking to what we were doing and playing hard. Both teams didnt want to lose that game. Both teams wanted to be patient, nobody wanted to make the mistake that could be costly for your team, and I thought we took advantage of it." Talbot added an empty-netter with 1:10 to play Colorados Semyon Varlamov, 8-0-5 in his last 14 games (13 starts), made 25 saves in the win. "Hes probably been our rock all year and hes been a treat to play in front of. Weve got a lot of confidence when hes in the net. When we blew that two-goal lead, he hung in there and calmed us down," defenceman Erik Johnson said. LLandeskog gave the Avalanche a 1-0 lead midway through the second with a display of precision passing. Nike Air Max Sverige Online. The Colorado captain gathered a loose puck in the Avalanche end and carried into the Minnesota zone. Just across the blue line, he sent a pass to his left for Talbot who quickly passed to Paul Stastny near the right circle. His saucer pass found Landeskog in front just in time for him to cut across the crease and tuck the puck past a downed Niklas Backstrom. OReilly made it 2-0 at 13:25 when he took a pass from John Mitchell low in the right circle and fired a quick shot that Backstrom got a piece of before the puck trickled between his pads and across the line. Minnesota, again playing without injured stars Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu, had just one shot until the 14-minute mark of the period, but Coyle scored twice in the ensuing minute. First, he and Dany Heatley executed a textbook give-and-go with Coyle getting behind a Colorado defenceman and sliding the puck through the pads of Varlamov as he faked a deke. Forty seconds later, Heatley took a pass from Nate Prosser below the goal line and centred for Coyle, whose shot from low in the right circle beat Varlamov on the stick side. His span between goals set a franchise record for fastest two goals by a Wild player at home. "Certainly, that was a great shift," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "We need guys to step up. Its got to be different guys every night. Despite that we have guys out, we have guys that are capable." Each goalie was rarely tested in the first period -- the teams combined for just five shots in the opening 15 minutes -- until Varlamov made a pair of quality saves to stop Kyle Brodziak and Matt Cooke from in front as the Wild had a flurry late in the frame.
