HOUSTON | Royals outfielder Coco Crisp will undergo season-ending surgery today after an examination Monday confirmed his sore right shoulder to be the result of a torn labrum. “Obviously, that’s not what we were looking for,” manager Trey Hillman said, “but it’s something that needs to be done. We’ll go ahead and take care of that now.”

If you missed last night's Royals-Astros game that went into extra innings, you missed quite a sequence of unusual events. Allow me to backtrack. Tuesday night's game was a 2-1 win for the visitors, and Kansas City closer Joakim Soria gave up two singles in the bottom of the ninth before striking out two and fielding a grounder. Nailbiter.
