Royals sweep Tigers,continue torrid start
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals keep finding new ways to win and the Detroit Tigers are losing every way possible.
Desi Relaford scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth on Carlos Pena's throwing error as the Royals won 4-3 yesterday, handing the Tigers their 16th loss in 17 games this season.
"We scratched and clawed for everything we got."
The Royals extended the best start in franchise history to 14-3 and are 8-0 at Kauffman Stadium, the only undefeated team at home this season. The Tigers matched the worst start in the majors since Kansas City also lost 16 of 17 to open the 1992 season.
"We scratched and clawed for everything we got," said Tigers manager Alan Trammell. "It seemed like it comes a lot easier on the other side, which is the way it happens when you're not going well."
Relaford led off the ninth against Mike Maroth (0-5) with a grounder to the hole

Joe Randa then bunted toward first base. Carlos Pena fielded the ball and threw to first. But the throw hit Randa in the back and rolled into right field for an error, allowing Relaford to score without a play.
"I don't know where it rolled when it hit me in the back of the arm," Randa said. "I turned around and Relaford was crossing the plate and it was pretty crazy."
Randa almost didn't play after leaving Saturday's game with soreness in his left hamstring. Randa convinced manager Tony Peña he was healthy enough to play and drove in three runs, including a two-run homer in the first.
"I almost didn't play," Randa said. "When I came out yesterday, my leg was pretty sore. I felt good enough to play today and Tony wanted me in the lineup.
"We talked about it. He trusts me on how I feel. Today I felt like I had enough to go. I told him I'd give him everything I got."
The Tigers came into the game with only seven errors but committed
three in their fifth loss in five meetings against Kansas City this season.
Mike MacDougal (1-0) pitched the ninth for the win.
Randa, who left Saturday's game with tightness in his left hamstring, hit a two-run homer in the first inning and a sacrifice fly in the sixth to lead Kansas City.
Maroth pitched a four-hitter in his first
career complete game.
"His ball was moving everywhere." Tigers catcher Matt Walbeck said. "His pitches were invisible. He was making pitches out of this world. He deserves a better record that what he's shown, as do some of our other pitchers, just him."
The Tigers scored a run in the first when Miguel Asencio walked Eric Munson with the bases loaded.
After Randa's third homer of the year gave Kansas City a 2-1 lead, the Tigers tied it in the second on Bobby Higginson's RBI single.
"We worked so hard one run in the first inning and they get two like that," Trammell said. "It was a tough loss. We definitely had our opportunities."
Munson's sacrifice fly in the fifth put the Tigers up 3-2, but the Royals tied it in the sixth. Angel Berroa led off with a double, went to third on Relaford's bunt and scored on Randa's sacrifice fly.
Asencio allowed three runs and nine hits in six innings.
Illinois fans saddened by loss of Self to Kansas
The Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Bill Self's apparent move to Kansas left fans at the University of Illinois feeling insulted, disappointed and sympathetic toward the players he leaves behind.
Self, the Illinois basketball coach for three seasons, arrived on the University of Kansas campus yesterday afternoon and ate a meal with Jayhawk players. University officials said only that the school had scheduled a news conference Monday to introduce its new basketball coach.
Illinois officials also refused to confirm Self was leaving to replace Roy Williams, who left Kansas last week to
It's the second time in less than three years that Illinois fans have had to cope with a coach's sudden departure. Lon Kruger left in May 2000 to coach the
become coach at North Carolina. The Illini sports information director said the school would wait for an announcement from Kansas.
But Illinois fans winding down their afternoon at a tavern near campus seemed resigned that the school would lose their coach.
"Obviously it's very disappointing," said David Kraft, 31, of Urbana. "It just seems like we have all the pieces in place and he's just leaving at the wrong time for me as a fan."
Atlanta Hawks.
"We felt real lucky to get Bill Self," Kraft said.
Self was hired away from Tulsa three weeks after Kruger left. He had spent three seasons there and left with a record of 74-27, similar to the 78-24 record he amassed in three seasons at Illinois.
Self may be landing his dream job at Kansas, but not everyone agrees it's the best decision.
"I think it's kind of a poor career move," said Adam Watkins, 23, a UI senior from Naperville. He said the team was performing well under Self and would have an opportunity to compete for a championship.
The Illini won a share of the Big Ten regular-season title in Self's first two seasons in Champaign and won the Big Ten Tournament championship this season.
Kraft said he understands Self's apparent decision to take the Kansas job, but he wondered why Illinois is not viewed the same way.
Caleb Parker, 22, a UI junior from Champaign, said his sympathy is with the players.
"It's an insult to us that we can't be considered in that same class," he said.
"You know they don't come here for the School of Engineering. They come here for the coach, and he's gone," he said.
Friday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. On page 1A and in the page 1B photo outline for the Kansas Relays, the runner is misidentified. Freshman Jenna Bimbi, who finished third in the 800 meter run, is pictured.
