KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Royals had scored just eight runs during a four-game losing streak, and were preparing to face former Cy Young winner Zack Greinke and the power-packed Los Angeles Dodgers. Perfect time to end that slump, eh? Jeremy Guthrie pitched into the eighth inning, Jarrod Dyson drove in two runs off Greinke and the Royals held on to beat the Dodgers 5-3 on Monday night in their first meeting in nine years. "Dont ask me why we had success tonight," Royals manager Ned Yost said drily. Dyson, the Royals No. 9 hitter, went 3 for 3 and stole two bases. Salvador Perez hit a solo home run, and Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar -- two of the players acquired by the Royals in the trade that sent Greinke to Milwaukee in December 2010 -- drove in a run apiece. It was an offensive outburst considering the Royals had lost three of their last four games by 2-1 scores, squandering solid pitching performances by their starting rotation. "There was never any panic," said Guthrie, who gave up two runs and seven hits in 7 2-3 innings to win his third straight start. "We lost a couple of close games. We recognize a couple things go our way we would have won a couple of them." Greg Holland served up a homer to Adrian Gonzalez in the ninth before earning his 22nd save. Hanley Ramirez drove in the other two runs for the Dodgers, who are visiting Kansas City for the first time since they were swept in a three-game set in 2005. In his third start against his former team, Greinke (9-4) was battered for a season-high five runs and 11 hits in 5 2-3 innings. He had allowed two runs over 15 1-3 innings in his previous two starts against the Royals, one with the Brewers and the other with the Los Angeles Angels. "I thought he was OK," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "There were a few balls where you could see where he was trying to go one place and it didnt end up there. I know a couple of those were to Dyson. I think some of the balls were trying to get to a different part of the plate and didnt get there." The Royals pounded Greinke almost from the start, Perez belting the first pitch of the second inning over the wall in left field for a 1-0 lead. Then with two outs, Escobar singled and went to second on a wild pitch before heading home when Dyson dumped a single into left field. Dyson made it 3-0 in the fifth when he scored on Cains single to right. The Royals finally knocked Greinke from the game in the fifth, this time after Perez started the inning with a double. Greinke fought back to get two outs, but Escobar hit a triple into the right-field corner and Dyson tacked on another RBI single to make it 5-0. That hit ended Greinkes night. As he departed the mound, fans showered him with a chorus of boos, clearly recalling how the right-hander once demanded to be traded from their team. "I was pretty rude on the way out. They have every right to be mad at me," Greinke said. "Its been awhile. Its been four years, so its been awhile. Theyve moved on by now and so have I. At least team-wise. The fans might be different." Meanwhile, those same fans were waiting to give Guthrie a standing ovation. The right-hander faced the minimum number of hitters through four innings, needing just four pitches in the second and five in the fourth. Gonzalez and Matt Kemp finally hit consecutive singles to start the fifth, but Guthrie calmly wiggled out of that jam. It wasnt until Miguel Rojas and Justin Turner hit singles and Ramirez one-hopped a double over the outfield wall to make it 5-2 in the eighth that Guthrie finally left the game. Wade Davis finished the inning, and Holland cleaned up the ninth to preserve the win. "Its a funny game. You go against a guy like Zack Greinke whos had so much success this year," Yost said. "We strung some hits together along with some outstanding pitching weve had the last five or six starts, its a big win for us tonight."

Greedy Williams Youth Jersey . -- Jim Furyk was 10 shots worse and right where he wanted to be Saturday in the BMW Championship.(SportsNetwork.com) - Maybe you cant do epic you know what with basic people but you can sure spoil things with some average folks. The enigmatic DeSean Jackson proved that on Saturday when he played a rather large role in helping to torpedo his former teams season, catching four balls for 126 yards, including a pair of trademarked over-the-top strikes on embattled Philadelphia cornerback Bradley Fletcher, during Washingtons 27-24 upset win over the sinking Eagles. They going home. Tell them goodnight. Bye bye, a gleeful Jackson boasted after the game. Technically thats not true but it might as well be as Philadelphia needs to win its Week 17 game in North Jersey against the New York Giants and hope Dallas loses its final two games, starting with Sundays matchup against Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. Jackson, a three-time Pro Bowl selection in Philadelphia, was unceremoniously dumped in the offseason in a curious move, considering he was coming off his best campaign of 82 receptions for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns in his first year under the offensive genius of Chip Kelly. On paper, Jackson seemed like a perfect fit for Kellys innovative offensive mind, a versatile player who lined up all over the field and served as the ultimate home-run hitter. Jackson, though, is a complainer and his personality, to be kind, can be grating at times. He is always upset with something whether its money, touches or coaching and Jackson is no shrinking violet when it comes to discussing it, often taking to social media to voice his displeasure like when he buried his current quarterback in an epic fashion on Instagram. In Philadelphia. Jackson butted heads with Kelly on more than one occasion, wasnt exactly Jerry Rice when it came to his work ethic, and did keep some spotty off-the-field company, which all contributed to the toxic cocktail that sent the California product from the City of Brotherly Love to the Beltway. It got so ugly that some in Jacksons camp (and me for that matter) believe the Eagles were behind the widely-circulated rumors that played up the Jacksons ties to gang-related activity. So its certainly no surprise the home-run threat took a special interest in sinking Kellys season, giving an impassioned speech to the Skins before the gamme and then hauling in two passes of over 50 yards, the kind of pop-the-top, field stretcher the Eagles are desperately missing now that Jackson moved south on I-95.dddddddddddd You try to get some help over the top in certain coverages and get matched up with them, Kelly said. We felt like our corners could stay with them and obviously they didnt. By them Kelly meant Jackson. The physical Pierre Garcon did break a Cary Williams tackle that helped set up Kai Forbaths 26-yard game-winning field goal, but no one was considering rolling a safety over the top on his side. Thats how they play, Jackson replied when asking about Philadelphias defensive plan to leave Fletcher on an island. Theyre very naive and they play how they play. They could care less who is out there or who is at wide receiver, theyre going to play their defense the way they play it. Its fair to say Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis game plan outside the numbers left a lot to be desired especially after he watched the Cowboys Dez Bryant do the same kinds of things to Fletcher six days earlier. And when Davis did finally roll a safety toward Jackson late, the result was Robert Griffin III forcing the football and a Nate Allen interception, a turnover that helped the Eagles deadlock the game in the fourth quarter. Thats the Philadelphia Eagle defense, Jackson said. Ive been there a lot of years and witnessed a lot of players -- wide receivers, tight ends -- get off on some huge games on them, and Im just happy to be on this side and be able to send them home with a loss. The Redskins are only 4-11 season and Jackson remains an immature, knucklehead at times, but he has recorded seven receptions of 50-plus yards this season and has 29 such catches since entering the league in 2008, the most in the NFL over that span. Thats production you cant replace and talent wins out more than not in the NFL, something Kelly learned the hard way on Saturday. Thats a question you have to ask them, Jackson said when asked if the Eagles regret their decision. As far as my ex-teammates, I think a lot of the guys miss me. Im happy to be here in Washington. Things didnt go the way we wanted it go this year, but at the end of the day, weve got a job to do, which is to finish strong. ' ' '
