 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Kansas City seems to be where Tampa Bay losing streaks come to die. It was here in 2004 that the Devil Rays ended a 12-game skid. And Friday night, surviving a shaky ninth with their closer on the disabled list, they held on to beat the Royals 6-5 and snap an 11-game streak.
"We're hot," deadpanned manager Joe Maddon.
Brendan Harris and Delmon Young drove in two runs apiece as the Devil Rays, who hadn't won since beating the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 24, shed the longest losing streak in the majors this year. The Royals scored three in the ninth and had the tying run on first before Gary Glover nailed down his first save in more than five years by getting the final three outs.
