KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Brandon Drury drove in two runs, Patrick Sandoval threw seven innings and the Los Angeles Angels handed Kansas City its 10th straight loss, beating the Royals 3-0 on Friday night.

Kansas City, a big league-worst 18-51, is on its longest losing streak since dropping 11 games in a row from May 2-13, 2021. The Royals were held to four hits or fewer for the 15th time and shut out for the ninth.

Los Angeles has won 10 of 12. The Angels took two of three at home from Seattle before winning three of four at AL West-leading Texas.

“It probably wasn't our best game offensively and we made some mistakes on the bases, but overall I thought Sandy was great,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said. "Where we came from the last two series, you could have a letdown game. I thought we answered well.”

Sandoval (4-6) didn't retire the Royals in order until he struck out the side in the seventh. He gave four hits, four walks and hit a batter, and had six strikeouts.

“I could do without the four walks,” Sandoval said. “I was satisfied to go seven, give our bullpen a rest and give us a chance to win.

"I had to find a way to get outs and get our team back in the dugout.”

Sam Bachman retired six straight batters his first professional save.

Royals starter Brady Singer (4-6) allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.

"He settled in really well," Royals manager Matt Quatraro said about Singer. "A little unfortunate there in the sixth, kind of broke his rhythm a bit, but overall he threw the ball well. Five and a third, two runs against that lineup is pretty solid.”

Shohei Ohtani laced a double down the left-field line in the first and went to third on a wild pitch. After Mike Trout walked, Drury singled to score Ohtani and send Trout to third. The Royals avoided further trouble when Singer struck out Matt Thaiss, and Drury was caught stealing.

Drury extended the lead in the sixth with an RBI double. Trout led off with a single. Drury followed with a line drive down the left-field line. Hunter Renfroe singled, ending Singer's night.

The Angels added a run in the seventh when Jose Cuas hit his first batter and walked Thaiss with the bases loaded.

Angels: 3B Anthony Rendon was held out of the because of soreness in his left wrist. He was hit by a pitch in the first inning Thursday in Texas. Though he stayed in the game, he did not swing. X-Rays were negative and he's listed as day-to-day.

Royals: C Salvador Perez was not in the lineup after being hit by a pitch in the left hand Wednesday. X-Rays were negative and manager Matt Quatraro said Perez is likely to be back soon.

Angels: INF Michael Stefanic was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. In a corresponding move, 1B Gio Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list because of a left pelvis fracture. Urschela had missed the prior four games with back soreness but he fell down awkwardly Thursday at Texas. He was on crutches after the game and X-rays revealed the fracture.

Royals: IF/OF Samad Taylor was recalled from Triple-A Omaha. Taylor will make his major league debut when appears for the Royals. He was a travel-ball teammate of Royals 1B/OF Nick Pratto and Angels OF Mickey Moniak in southern California.

Angels RHP Griffin Canning (5-2, 4.56 ERA) is set to start Saturday against Royals RHP Mike Mayers (1-2, 5.06).

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a stinging answer for Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who upon learning that his own QB Joe Burrow had picked Mahomes as the league's best replied: “Pat who?”

“That's who,” Mahomes posted on social media Thursday night, along with a photo of him flashing his new Super Bowl ring.

Mahomes picked up his first ring in 2020 by leading the Chiefs to a victory over the 49ers, then added a second in February when he led Kansas City to a come-from-behind win over the Eagles. But unlike the first triumph, which came as the pandemic was beginning, the Chiefs were able to thoroughly enjoy the spoils of the latest with a ring ceremony Thursday night.

The red-carpet affair in Kansas City was closed to reporters, but Mahomes and others were happy to send out photographs. And in the case of the Chiefs' burgeoning rivals, they were willing to take a couple of shots at Chase and the Bengals.

“That's what you work for, to win the Super Bowl and get those rings,” Mahomes said. “They last a lifetime. To be able to see them, I know they've done a great job with them. I got to help out a little bit with the creating process. They did a great job.”

The rings were made by Jostens and each contains 613 diamonds along with 35 rubies for a total of 16.1 carats.

And like most Super Bowl rings these days, there were plenty of hidden meanings in the design.

Front and center are the organization's three Lombardi Trophies, each with a marquise diamond set atop. The trophies are set against a backdrop of 19 rubies and 38 diamonds, which reflects both the 38 points the Chiefs scored in the Super Bowl and the 57th edition of the game. In the middle of it all is the Chiefs' logo, which itself is comprised of 16 rubies — the number of division titles for the franchise — and 50 diamonds to reflect the 50th anniversary of Arrowhead Stadium.

Elsewhere, the 16 baguette diamonds at the base represent the 16 players that scored a touchdown in the regular season; 54 diamonds across the top represent the total number of points the Chiefs had to overcome in their two most recent title runs; and each player's name is engraved in gold along with a row of 13 diamonds.

The ring also features a removable top so the thing can turn into a pendant that looks like Arrowhead Stadium.

“They're pretty cool," Mahomes said. “They did a great job. I hadn't gotten to see the final product, but I got to see kind of the process of it and gave some ideas and stuff like that. They did a great job. Like I said, with whatever they look like, you get to have them forever and they mean the world. It's cool to be able to have two of them now.”

That's two more than the Bengals have these days.

Much like their recent trip to the White House, the Chiefs invited anybody that was part of the team last year, including those that are working elsewhere now. That includes offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who left for a similar job with the Washington Commanders and wasn't sure whether he could fit the trip into his schedule.

“It's a little bit like what went on at the White House,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “but they're coming back to Kansas City. I think it's a great deal. I think the Hunt (family) have put together a really nice event for the guys.”

🏈Chiefs sign final 2023 draft pick

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Whoever came up with the saying, “To the victor go the spoils,” could never have had the Kansas City Chiefs in mind.

They wouldn't have believed the amount of spoils that have come their way since their Super Bowl title.

<a href="https://apnews.com/article/mahomes-chiefs-super-bowl-586046c98c16936141ee8aaae3e5a2b8">There was Patrick Mahomes</a>, the All-Pro quarterback and widely regarded as the league's best player, jetting from the Kentucky Derby to the Formula One race in Miami to the Met Gala, where he walked the red carpet alongside his wife, Brittany.

<a href="https://apnews.com/article/travis-kelce-music-festival-jam-776b6706cf573cf34b37cdd9f5694f8b">There was Travis Kelce,</a>&nbsp;the All-Pro tight end widely regarded as the league's best at his position, taking some time out from his popular podcast with his older brother, Jason, to handle hosting duties on “Saturday Night Live.”

Then there was the entire team who, along with two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Andy Reid,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-chiefs-kansas-city-super-bowl-a387573fff4bc6b087277159dcbd0fb3">flying to the White House</a>&nbsp;for a meeting with President Joe Biden. It's a trip the Chiefs were unable to make after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in 2020 because of the pandemic, and one they certainly relished after topping the Philadelphia Eagles in February.

“The hospitality was phenomenal,” Reid said. “They had different military guys in each of the rooms they let us go in, and the guys were experts on the paintings and the architecture and who's special room this was and that room, so you got the history, from the oldest table to the oldest picture, and you got the history of that. I think the guys appreciated that.”

“I've never had this before,” Reid said, “but they had a French toast-grilled cheese-and-ham sandwich that they sprinkled a little bit of powdered sugar on. It was phenomenal. There was an abundance of this. Then they had chicken fingers — exotic chicken fingers. Maybe the best part was, which I hadn't seen before, little bit-sized squares of the heart of the watermelon. My hat went off to the chef. I went back and talked to him and I just go, ‘You guys are unbelievable.’”

Unbelievable is a good way to describe the Chiefs they days.

They wrapped their final&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-chiefs-chris-jones-minicamp-b367cc6e6267f442b3356dac116c1866">mandatory minicamp of the offseason</a>&nbsp;Thursday, and now have about a month before reporting to training camp. They will do so having won eight consecutive division titles, three of the past four conference championships and with two championship rings — they got their latest in a closed-door ceremony Thursday night.

So quite naturally, the biggest stars on the league's best team have been in demand.

“I've always wanted to go to the Kentucky Derby,” said Mahomes, who gave the call for riders up in May, “but I wanted to win the Super Bowl before I went, and obviously the last one we had COVID that canceled that, so I was glad we were able to experience that. It was an awesome race. It's just about picking and choosing what you can do.”

Mahomes will be in the spotlight some more in the coming weeks.

He's the central figure alongside Kurt Cousins and Marcus Mariota in&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-chiefs-minnesota-vikings-atlanta-falcons-philadelphia-eagles-indianapolis-colts-de95d06c07c2817d9713a0468283896f">“Quarterback,” an eight-part docuseries</a>&nbsp;produced by the NFL and Netflix that takes viewers behind the scenes last season. The show, which premiers July 12, is produced in part by Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning and his Omaha Productions company.

“I wanted to for sure have some editing rights,” Mahomes said Thursday, " because I've realized I'm kind of wild on the field. I don't even remember the things I say. It was cool to go through that process, having Peyton and his company. I have full trust in him. Thanks to the Chiefs and Coach Reid for having full trust in us during the season. It's going to be cool for people to see."

Mahomes, who became a father of two last November, is also trying to squeeze in some time on the links. He's teaming with Kelce to play the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the latest edition of “the Match,” an exhibition golf event June 29 at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas. It will air on TNT.

“I'll play a little here and there. I have a charity golf tournament coming up. Other than that, we'll roll when the lights come on,” Mahomes said. “Travis hits the ball really far, just not always straight. If I can hit it straight, Travis will hit some shots that help.”

There was the moment he went viral for his epically poor first pitch before a Cleveland Guardians game, and an opportunity this past week to redeem himself before a Kansas City Royals game. He hosted a music festival in Kansas City the same weekend as the city hosted the NFL draft. And he earned mostly positive reviews for his hosting duties on “Saturday Night Live,” highlighted by an opening monologue that featured his entire family.

“It was a machine, man. It was a very strategic, structured machine,” said Kelce, who has since hired acting representation with an eye on a post-playing career. “Everyone works great together. All the writers, the production — it's like a team effort.”

The Chiefs certainly know something about that.

🏈Mahomes, Kelce and the Chiefs enjoy spoils of Super Bowl win during wild offseason

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Whether they're being serious or entirely tongue-in-cheek, the Cincinnati Reds have begun calling themselves “America's Team.”

A few more series like they had in Kansas City and that moniker might expand beyond the clubhouse.

The Reds pounded out four homers Wednesday night, including three during a five-run fifth inning, and held on for a 7-4 victory over the Royals that not only completed the three-game sweep but extended their winning streak to five straight.

“It's a long season. It doesn't matter who we're playing, we just got to play our brand of baseball,” said Matt McLain, whose three-run shot highlighted the Reds' big inning. “You play it hard no matter what happens. That's what we're going to do.”

Spencer Steer homered in the second before Stuart Fairchild and Jonathan India joined McLain in going deep in the fifth, breaking open a 1-all game and sending the Reds to their eighth win in their last 10 games.

Ben Lively (4-4) ended a rough stretch for Cincinnati starters, allowing 10 hits but just two runs over 5 2/3 innings. Alexis Diaz entered with two on and one out in the ninth and struck out Freddy Fermin and retired Dairon Blanco for his 17th save.

“We have to do whatever it takes to get a win,” Reds manager David Bell said. “Home runs played a big part tonight.”

The Royals' Daniel Lynch (0-3) gave up all four Reds homers, the most he's allowed in an outing in his career. That led to all seven of their runs on seven hits and a pair of walks, extending Lynch's winless streak stretched to 15 starts.

The Royals, who at 18-50 have the worst record in the majors, have lost a season-high nine straight games.

“We had chances to drive guys in,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “We have to keep putting quality at-bats together, and when you have a chance to drive in runs, you can't change your approach.”

Steer set the tone for the Reds in the second when he deposited Lynch's 1-1 pitch in the left-field seats, though the Royals at least answered that homer. Bobby Witt Jr. drove in a run on his 23rd birthday with one of his three hits on the night.

It turned out to be a costly inning for the Royals, though. Salvador Perez was hit on the left hand by a pitch from Lively and had to be replaced by Maikel Garcia. Perez was diagnosed with a bruise and is day-to-day.

“We got pretty lucky,” said Quatraro, adding that X-rays on Perez came back negative. "He said right away, ‘I’ve got to come out.’ It got him right on, I don’t know what bone, but it squared him up good.”

The Reds pulled ahead in the fourth when a video review turned a leadoff groundout by McLain into a hit. India followed with a flyball to left field that Edward Oliveras nearly caught but instead fell for a go-ahead RBI double.

But it was the deep ball that ruined the night for Kansas City.

Fairchild began the Reds' big fifth inning with his line drive into the left-field bullpen, and McLain made it 6-1 with his soaring three-run shot later in the inning. India capped the five-run frame and gave Cincinnati back-to-back homers for the second time this season when he sent his eighth of the year over the left-field wall.

The Royals got runs back in the sixth, seventh and ninth before Diaz left the bases loaded by closing out the game.

“We had the chant going on, ‘America’s Team!' We're going with that consensus,” Lively said. “Just everyone kept scrambling, man, and the positivity in the clubhouse is so cool.”

Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino will have season-ending surgery on a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He felt discomfort during a game against Baltimore on June 9, and an MRI exam Monday revealed the damage. One of the club's best young hitters, Pasquantino was batting .247 with nine homers and 26 RBIs through 61 games.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Whether they're being serious or entirely tongue-in-cheek, the Cincinnati Reds have begun calling themselves “America's Team.”A few more series like they had in Kansas City and that moniker might expand beyond the clubhouse.The Reds pounded out four homers Wednesday night, including three during a five-run fifth inning, and held on for a 7-4 victory over the Royals that not only completed the three-game sweep but extended their winning streak to five straight.“It's a long season.

⚾Reds homer 3 times in fifth, roll to 7-4 win and sweep of Royals

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Royals slugger Vinnie Pasquantino has a torn labrum in his right shoulder and will undergo season-ending surgery, taking one of the best hitters out of the Kansas City lineup as it strives to turn around a miserable start to the season.

Pasquantino was hitting .247 with nine homers and 26 RBIs though his first 61 games, but he began feeling some discomfort in his shoulder during a game against Baltimore on June 9. He had an MRI exam Monday that revealed the extent of the injury.

“I was hoping for the best but probably more realistic expectations,” said first-year Royals manager Matt Quatraro, whose club went into Wednesday night's series finale with the Cincinnati Reds with a majors-worst 18-49 record.

“I think moving forward, this is what needs to be done to put him in the best spot to perform and to have him the best for us going forward,” Quatraro said. “I think he intellectually, like, wrapped his head around it, and knows that it's what's best for him. But you know, it's not an easy thing for him to swallow, either. And he's a competitor.”

Along with infielder Bobby Witt Jr., outfielder MJ Melendez and the versatile Maikel Garcia, Pasquantino is part of a young core that the Royals hope can lift them from the big league basement. But with surgery on the horizon, Pasquantino will be out of the lineup until next spring training, putting even more pressure on the rest of them to perform.

Nick Pratto will handle most of the first base duties in his absence, while infielder Matt Duffy also can play first base. Quatraro even floated — perhaps tongue-in-cheek — the possibility of catcher Salvador Perez playing there, something he's done 10 times over the course of his 12-year major league career.

In the meantime, Pasquantino plans to be around the club and provide whatever positive vibes he can.

“Everyone knows we're struggling to win games,” Quatraro said. “And his point is, I want to be out there while we're struggling that it's that much sweeter when we get through it together. And that's the competitor. But I think it's unavoidable, you know? So he'll go wrap his head around it. ... It's not something that by any means I expect him to become a coach, but he is someone that people respect for the way he goes about his business, the way he plays the game, the way he competes."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Brandon Williamson gave up a run in the first, another in the second and two more in the third Tuesday night, and everything could have easily come undone for the 25-year-old left-hander and the rest of the Cincinnati Reds.

Instead, Williamson cruised through two more innings without a hit, turned over a 5-4 lead to the stingy Cincinnati bullpen, and watched a quartet of relievers allow a single hit the rest of the way in beating the Kansas City Royals.

“They really thrive on that,” said Reds manager David Bell, whose club faced an early 1-0 deficit against the Royals and has now won a National League-leading 22 games in come-from-behind fashion. “It's been really fun to see.”

Williamson (1-0) allowed four runs, three of them earned, on seven hits over just five innings. But he left with that lead, thanks to a five-run second inning in which the Reds batted through the lineup, and their bullpen survived some shaky moments to not only hand Williamson the victory but the Royals an eighth consecutive defeat.

Daniel Duarte, brought up from Triple-A Louisville, worked the sixth inning in his first appearance for the Reds after missing 143 games to injury a year ago. Ian Gibaut loaded the bases in the seventh before Lucas Sims escaped the jam with strikeouts of Nick Pratto and Salvador Perez. Sims also handled the eighth before Alexis Diaz took care of the ninth for his 16th save.

“Our bullpen is so good, you know? We're just cruising,” said Williamson, who made his big league debut May 16. “You come in the locker room and it feels like we've been playing together for a long time.”

Jordan Lyles (0-11) allowed all five Cincinnati runs on six hits and three walks over six innings for Kansas City. Bobby Witt Jr. hit a two-run homer and MJ Melendez and Matt Duffy also drove in runs, but the Royals couldn't produce down the stretch.

“We lost that game,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “There were plenty of opportunities to win it. Jordan gets the loss. But it's a team loss. I don't look at it like we don't have a chance to win when he's out there. We had plenty of chances to win.”

The biggest reason Lyles is winless this season has been the long ball. The left-hander, who signed a two-year, $17 million deal in the offseason, had allowed at least one homer in 10 of his first 13 starts and two or more more in seven of them.

Lyles didn't give one up Tuesday night. Instead, the Reds battered him with small ball.

Their five-run second inning began with top prospect Elly De La Cruz's walk and ended with his strikeout, and included seven baserunners in between them. There was a double, three singles, two more walks and a fielder's choice, along with three stolen bases, an error by Duffy and a wild pitch that allowed a run to score from third base.

Plenty of boos greeted Lyles as he walked off the mound with a 5-1 deficit.

The Royals got a run back in the second on Duffy's double and closed within 5-4 on Witt's two-run shot in the third. But their only other chance came in the eighth, when Gibaut loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter, and Sims shut them down.

“It's fun because, you know, it really kind of shows the kind of character we have,” Sims said. “You know, it takes all 26 of us to try to pull together and ride this thing out, and it's fun to watch. Winning is fun.”

Reds: RHP Ricky Karcher was optioned to Louisville after earning the save Monday night. Duarte had his contract selected from the same club. RHP Joel Kuhnel was designated for assignment.

Reds: INF Nick Senzel (right knee) and RHP Tony Santillan (left hamstring strain) went to Louisville to begin rehab assignments. ... OF Henry Ramos (right hip strain) came off the injured list and was optioned to Louisville.

Royals: 1B Vinnie Pasquantino (right shoulder instability) is awaiting the results of an MRI exam taken Monday. The club hopes to have them by Wednesday. ... OF Kyle Isbel (left hamstring strain) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

RHP Ben Lively (3-4, 4.21 ERA) faces the Royals for the first time in the finale of the three-game series. LHP Daniel Lynch (0-2, 4.41) gets the start for Kansas City as he seeks his first win since Aug. 1, 2022.

⚾Reds hold off Royals 5-4 to give Brandon Williamson first big league win

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, was absent from the start of the Super Bowl champions' mandatory three-day minicamp Tuesday.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid is not expected to speak until Thursday, and the Chiefs did not make anyone else available to discuss Jones' absence. If it is unexcused, Jones could be fined as much as $98,753 under terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

The 28-year-old Jones is coming off perhaps the best season of his career, matching a career high with 15 1/2 sacks before getting two more in the postseason. His disruptive presence in the middle of the defensive line also was a big reason why the Chiefs were able to slow down the Philadelphia Eagles in the second half as they rallied to win the Lombardi Trophy.

Jones carries a salary cap hit of $28 million this season, the last of an $80 million, four-year deal. The contract he signed in 2020 helped to set the market for defensive tackles, but the $20 million average currently ranks just eighth at his position.

Chiefs general manager Brett Veach acknowledged after the NFL draft that he planned to discuss an extension with Jones' representatives. Veach also indicated that he wanted to get one done before the Chiefs report to training camp next month.

“We’ll get to work and see what we can do,” he said.

Jones was among six players that were absent for the first of three mandatory practices. It was unclear why right guard Trey Smith, running back Jerick McKinnon and tight end Blake Bell were missing from the practice, but running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive tackle Turk Wharton were likely rehabbing injuries.

In other news, 33-year-old tight end Travis Kelce spent time discussing a busy offseason that included a hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” and a trip with the Chiefs to visit President Joe Biden at the White House. He also threw out the first pitch at a Kansas City Royals game after going viral for his poor performance before a Cleveland Guardians game, and is planning to team up with Patrick Mahomes to face the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in a golf exhibition on June 29.

Kelce was asked how he manages to juggle all of his off-field activities with keeping himself in shape as he ages.

“Everybody attacks it differently. That's where you have to build your own professional approach to things,” Kelce said. “Everyone gets free time off. You have to do something productive with that time. You have to find a way to keep getting better.”

Kelce was then asked how long he plans to keep playing.

“Until the wheels fall off, baby. I love this game,” he replied. "I’m sure I’ll have to make at some point in my life, but for right now, I’m in this building wanting to win football games, man.”
