These were the only home games for the Royals

DENVER -- When it came to shooting, Wilson Chandler struck a balance between picking his spots and taking his chances.
Kevin
King Packers Jersey . Chandler scored a season-high 25 points and the
Denver Nuggets snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Indiana Pacers
109-96 Saturday night. "I was just being a little aggressive, and I was taking
good shots," said Chandler, who hit eight of 15 shots from the field, including
half his eight tries from 3-point range. "I probably took one or two bad shots
but I was being aggressive and taking good shots at the same time."
Nate Robinson and Timofey Mozgov added 15 points apiece and J.J. Hickson had 14
points and 13 rebounds. First-year Nuggets coach Brian Shaw won in his first
matchup against Indiana since leaving his job as a Pacers assistant to come to
Denver. The victory against Indiana, which still has the best record in the NBA,
lifted the Nuggets back to .500 at 21-21. "We came out strong in the first half,
and we withstood a great run from them in the second half," Chandler said.
"Theyre a pretty good team, maybe the best team in the league right now. They
made runs, but we just had to stay focused. If we play well we can contend with
any team. Weve played well against a lot of the top teams this year but weve
lost to some of the bottom teams. Weve got to play every team like theyre the
best in the league." Lance Stephenson scored 23 for Indiana. The Pacers split a
road back-to-back set after winning in overtime the night before in Sacramento.
"Im proud of our guys after a second night of a back-to-back and change in time
zones," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "An emotional win last night, obviously,
in overtime. I didnt know how much gas we were going to have in our tank. We
really competed at a high level." Paul George added 18 points and David West 16
for the Pacers, who lost for the eighth time in nine trips to Denver. Ty Lawson,
who had 12 points and 10 assists, said the Nuggets gained command early by
leaning on their transition game. "We wanted to run with them on a back-to-back.
That was a main focus," Lawson said. "Thats what (Kenneth) Faried did early. He
was running on their bigs and getting easy buckets." Trailing by 19 at halftime,
the Pacers got back in the game in a hurry, opening the third quarter with a
16-3 run keyed by Stephensons seven points. The Nuggets responded with a 7-0
burst late in the third that helped them take a 10-point lead into the fourth
quarter. Roy Hibbert, held to five points, became the second Pacers player to
foul out after drawing his sixth foul with 3:19 remaining. Still, the Pacers
pulled to 101-94 when Stephenson made a pair of free throws with 3:14 left. But
the Nuggets wouldnt let the Pacers finish off the comeback, getting five
straight points on free throws, including a pair from the foul line on
technicals against David West and Vogel. The Pacers managed one more basket down
the stretch but that was offset by Hicksons emphatic dunk with 1:09 remaining,
the final points of the game. "They ran the same play the whole game
(pick-and-roll)," West said. "We couldnt get it under control and then we just
fouled them. They would have beaten us by almost 40 points if they made their
free throws. They shot 56 per cent from the free throw line. They make 10 more
and it wouldnt have been a close game." NOTES: The Pacers have trailed at
halftime 19 times this season, going 13-6 in those games. ... Former Nuggets
executive Carl Scheer was honoured during pregame ceremonies. ... Chandler had
20 or more points for the fourth time this season and the third time in five
games. ... Indianas Ian Mahinmi fouled out with 8 minutes remaining. ... All
five Denver starters scored in double figures for the sixth time this season.
... The Pacers have lost five games in a row to Denver.

.Y. - Terry and Kim Pegula have no immediate plans to tinker with their new NFL
team. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Despite being only two games above .500 and facing a
6.5-game deficit against first-place Detroit, the Kansas City Royals believe
they have their rivals right where they want them. Judging by recent history,
maybe they do. A five-run seventh inning keyed by Omar Infantes two-run single
and an RBI double from Eric Hosmer enabled the Royals to avoid a demoralizing
four-game sweep against the Tigers on Sunday. It also brought to mind the
league-best 33-20 mark they logged last season after stumbling into the All-Star
break on a five-game losing streak. "Were eight games better than we were at
this time last year," manager Ned Yost said. "And were a second-half team. Weve
always been a second-half team." Exactly why they seem to play better after the
break, no one seems to know. "Im not sure," designated hitter Billy Butler said.
"The seasons long, It wears on guys as they get older. Were young. And sometimes
I think as guys get older ... I dont know." But he does know last years
second-half surge makes this years challenge seem less daunting. "Were just
better the second half. Its our track record and were starting to count on it."
Four of the seventh-inning runs were charged to Justin Verlander (8-8), who
started the inning with a two-hit shutout but loaded the bases on three straight
singles. "Things were going well for us and we ran into the seventh," said
Verlander, who lost for just the fifth time in 15 decisions in Kauffman Stadium.
"A couple of balls fell in the right spots and Im out of the ballgame. They were
able to find some spots." Since June 18 when K.C. beat the Tigers for their 10th
straight win and went a season-best seven games over .500, the Royals have gone
9-14 while the Tigers went 17-6. Verlanderr gave up six hits in 6 1/3 innings,
struck out three and walked one.

Biegel Youth Jersey. Yordano Ventura (7-7) pitched 1 2/3 innings in his
first career relief appearance and got the win. He allowed one hit and struck
out three for the Royals, who beat the Tigers for only the first time in seven
tries this year at home. Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his 25th save
in 26 opportunities. After Raul Ibanez loaded the bases in the seventh with a
single that snapped a 0-for-25 skid, Alcides Escobar brought in a run with a
slow-rolling infield single that second baseman Ian Kinsler failed to pick up
cleanly. A second run then scored on Jarrod Dysons fielders choice. Ian Krol
replaced Verlander and after intentionally walking pinch hitter Salvador Perez,
gave up a two-run single to Omar Infante that made it 4-2. "I waited for that
pitch and made good contact," Infante said. Hosmers double stretched his
career-best hitting streak to 13 games. Rajai Davis and Austin Jackson opened
the third with back-to-back singles and the Tigers took a 2-0 lead on
Miguel Cabreras sacrifice fly and a two-out bloop single by J.D. Martinez, which
fell in between shortstop Escobar and left fielder Ibanez as Jackson came around
from first. NOTES: Jackson proved a perfect leadoff hitter in this series,
starting all four games with a base hit, three singles and a double. ...
Martinez made two nifty running catches in the right-field corner. Martinez was
also 3 for 4. ... These were the only home games for the Royals during a 19-game
stretch that began on June 30 and runs through July 23. ... The Royals, Dodgers,
Yankees and Mariners are the only major league teams with losing records at home
and winning marks on the road. ... All nine of Detroits hits were singles.
