Theyve given us everything we could handle and more.Kansas City had won the first two games of the four-game series and all five previous meetings this season.Odorizzi (6-5) allowed two singles, walked two and had six strikeouts in six innings. The right-hander has not given up a run in 20 2/3 innings over the three-start stretch.Odo was outstanding, again, Cash said. Hes really gotten on a very nice run, which has been great to see.Enny Romero and Ryan Garton completed a two-hitter.Seeing 12 up there at the end is really nice, Odorizzi said. The guys in the bullpen came in and finished the last three innings to keep the shutout going. The defense played really great, the offense was outstanding, obviously.After Evan Longoria had a sacrifice fly, Souza put the Rays up 4-0 on his three-run shot off Edinson Volquez (8-10) in the first. Souza had gone 109 at-bats without a homer after going deep June 4 against Minnesotas Ervin Santana.Miller made it 5-0 during the third with his 18th homer.Volquez gave up eight runs and 11 hits in five-plus innings.They got me today, Volquez said.Kansas City had three errors, and now has three games this season where it has given up at least 12 runs and made at least three errors. It happened once in the previous six seasons.Kiermaier, who entered hitting .163 with two RBI in 16 games since coming back from a fractured left hand, hit a three-run drive off Chien-Ming Wang in a five-run sixth to put the Rays ahead 11-0.MOVING DAYRoyals: OF Billy Burns, acquired from Oakland Friday, was recalled from Triple-A Omaha and RHP Brooks Pounders was optioned to the Pacific Coast League club.Rays: INF-OF Richie Shaffer was recalled from Triple-A Durham and UTL Taylor Motter was optioned the International League club.DUFFYS DAYSS Matt Duffy, acquired Monday in a four-player deal that sent LHP Matt Moore to San Francisco, could be a week away from returning from a strained left Achilles tendon.

Seeing 59 points on the scoreboard in the opener continued a recent TCU trend of racking up the touchdowns.But the 41 points allowed were still bothering Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson this week.No. 15 TCU hosts Arkansas at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday night, and the residue of the shaky defensive showing in which the Horned Frogs allowed 461 yards to South Dakota State in their opener has Patterson deeply concerned.When you do that, youre not going to give your kids a very good chance of being successful, Patterson said. Hopefully, well do a lot better job as a coaching staff of getting them put in position against Arkansas.If not, theyll have 1,000 yards and 1,000 points. Weve got to do a lot better job this week.The Razorbacks rallied for a 21-20 victory over Louisiana Tech in their opener with quarterback Austin Allen engineering a 77-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter to overcome a 20-14 deficit. He capped the march with a 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeremy Sprinkle.We found a way to win, Hogs coach Bret Bielema said. That builds a lot of confidence.Allen was 20 of 29 passing for 191 yards with two touchdown passes, but he also was intercepted twice and was sacked four times. Wide receiver Keon Hatcher had six catches for 86 yards and wide receiver Drew Morgan five for 47 to account for more than half the production. Sprinkles touchdown reception was his third and final catch of the day.Running back Rawleigh Williams III led the Razorbacks rushing attack with 96 yards on 24 carries. The Hogs had a net team total of 106 rushing yards with the sacks accounting for 26 yards in lost yardage.We felt really good about certain guys, Bielema said. Our MVPs offensively, two guys really jumped out -- Rawleigh Williams and Keon Hatcher. Keon supplied some juice, especially in that second half. Some of those plays with extra effort continue to be impressive.Rawleigh was really impressive the whole game. I probably could have calleed on him a little bit more.ddddddddddddKeeping Williams in check has to be a concern what with the Horned Frogs experiencing an abundance of poor tackling in their first game. Patterson took the blame for the woes on defense.We didnt tackle very well. As we get a lot of times, we got a different game plan than what we worked on, Patterson said. To be honest with you, I did a poor job of getting them ready to play. We didnt tackle very well, and schematically we didnt do a very good job of lining up.TCU senior defensive tackle Aaron Curry cited communication issues as a big problem in the first half against South Dakota State so there are plenty of things to shore up.It was the first game so everyone was probably too hyped up and worrying about the wrong things, but as the game kept going everyone calmed down, Curry said.One area where there was no problem was at quarterback, where Texas A&M transfer Kenny Hill made his TCU debut. He passed for 439 yards, seventh-most in TCU history, while accounting for five touchdowns.I thought for a first ballgame, he managed it, Patterson said. We understand Arkansas is a lot more talented as a defense, a lot more athletic, a lot more physical one than the one we just played. We know we have to get a lot better at what were doing to be able to play like we need to.Hill threw two interceptions, but quickly moved on from his miscues.Its a year-and-a-half worth of hard work and just prayers that are all coming to fruition now, Hill said. So its a big deal for me.Patterson agrees that the work looks to pay off for the junior.No. 1, hes really studied, Hill said. Hes been a professional about it ever since hes been here, hes been a great student, hes done everything right. Every week, he keeps becoming a better and better leader.Our kids just rally around him. Thats what youre looking for with a quarterback. ' ' '
