Even a ground ball gets the guy in. “Even if it’s a double play. That’s what I was going for, first pitch, and it was way out of the zone. I rolled the dice. I went first-pitch fastball. — Kansas City’s Elliott Johnson on his inability to drive in a crucial ninth-inning run in a loss to Atlanta.
“
The Royals also got the tying run to third in the the eighth after Walden started the inning by walking Escobar, who went to second on a wild pick-off throw with one out. Walden rallied by striking out Billy Butler on a nasty 1-2 slider. Escobar swiped third without a throw, but Walden retired Salvy Perez on a routine fly to right. The Royals quickly put Kimbrel in a hole when Mike Moustakas battled back from a 1-2 hole for a leadoff walk. David Lough followed with a single to right that moved Moustakas to third. Kimbel struck out Johnson on three pitches. “Even a ground ball gets the guy in,” Johnson said. “Even if it’s a double play. That’s what I was going for, first pitch, and it was way out of the zone. I rolled the dice. I went first-pitch fastball.” It was a breaking ball in the dirt, and Johnson never recovered. Lough stole second, which put the winning run in scoring position with one out, but Kimbrel shrugged it off by freezing Dyson on a wicked breaking ball for a called third strike.

Kansas City Royals’ Alcides Escobar (2) and Billy Butler (16) congratulate Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer (35) on his two-run home run against the Atlanta Braves in the fifth inning at Kauffman Stadium Tuesday. “I thought it was going to be away,” Dyson said. “It came right in there. I couldn’t do anything with it.” Kimbrel walked Gordon before retiring Escobar on a fly to right. It meant another dis-
appointing night in front of a big crowd — 29,947. The Royals have now lost seven in a row at home when playing in front at 29,000 or more. Santana worked around trouble in the early innings, with the
help of some glittering defense, but coughed up a one-run lead by surrendering three runs in the fifth. Chris Johnson started inning with a double to left. Andrelton Simmons failed twice in attempt-

The tournament was hosted by District judges Dan Creitz and David Rogers and underwritten by Superior Products and Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, as a major fundraiser for the CASA organization. Other major sponsors and teams include Com-
ing a sacrifice bunt before pulling a single through the left side. Jordan Shafer followed by yanking an RBI double past first, which put runners at second and third with no outs. Heyward then served a two-run double into right that gave Atlanta a 3-1 lead.
The Royals responded immediately and did so in a manner that is out-of-character but immensely encouraging. Escobar pulled a twoout single to left, and Eric Hosmer followed with a 404-foot drive to right for a two-run homer. Santana worked a brisk sixth inning before exiting, breaking a streak of seven straight starts of at least seven innings. He gave up three runs and six hits while throwing 102 pitches. In came Collins and... yep. Heyward. On an 0-2 hanger. “Right pitch, bad location,” Collins said. “That’s the pitch I wanted to throw. I just didn’t want to throw it in that location.”

Above, the team of L.C. Lacy, Dave Cescon, Dan Leslie and Andrew Patterson won the first flight of a charity golf tournament to benefit the Allen County Court Appointed Special Advocates program.
A message also was left with the Bristol County district attorney’s office. Lloyd’s mother, Ursula Ward, declined to comment at her Boston home this morning. “Nothing to say, please. Thank you,” she said, before shutting the door. A Patriots team spokesman said Monday morning that the team had no comment. State police have searched in and around Hernandez’s sprawling home in North Attleborough several times. At least three search warrants have been issued in connection with the investigation.
Reporters have been camped for days outside the home on the Rhode Island line, not far from the stadium where the Patriots play. They reported Tuesday that Hernandez got a visit from Boston defense attorney James Sultan. The Patriots drafted Hernandez, who is originally from Bristol, Conn., out of the University of Florida in 2010. Last summer, the team gave him a five-year contract worth $40 million. Patriots spokesman Stacey James has said the team did not anticipate commenting publicly during the police investigation.
