KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Danny Duffy didnt pitch quite as well as he did in his previous start -- that wouldve been hard to match. He did plenty, though, to stop Aaron Sanchez and the Blue Jays.Duffy and the Kansas City Royals ended a 10-game winning streak by Sanchez, topping Toronto 4-2 Saturday night.Duffy (8-1) struck out a team-record 16 and permitted just one hit over eight innings at Tampa Bay in his last start. He won his seventh straight decision, holding the Blue Jays to two runs and five hits over 6 2/3 innings.I think the last start was probably the best start of my career, Duffy said. On days like that, I had everything working. Today not so much. Today, I didnt have what I had the last time out, but I had enough. It wasnt as good as the last one, but it was good enough.Sanchez (11-2) hadnt lost since April 22 against Oakland. He allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings.Sanchez still leads the AL with a 2.85 ERA.The Blue Jays opted earlier this week to go with a six-man rotation instead of putting the 24-year-old Sanchez in the bullpen to limit his innings.Its not like I thought he was out there distracted or rattled or anything, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. They just beat him. Nobodys invincible.Devon Travis led off the game with a home run for the second straight night. He also had an RBI single in the fifth after Kevin Pillar doubled.It was a minor frustration, leaving a changeup up after Ive been so good with my changeup this entire season, Duffy said of Travis leadoff homer. It was frustrating, but you dont let it affect the next hitter and I didnt, just kind of moved on.Eric Hosmer hit a two-out, two-run single in a three-run fifth that made it 3-2.We had four hits that inning and three of them were infield hits, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Hos came through. It was a big two-out hit.Sanchez pitched only 102 innings last year, including 9 2/3 in the minors on a rehab assignment after a shoulder injury. The All-Star righty has thrown 145 1/3 innings this season.Alcides Escobars infield single scored Kansas Citys first run.Raul Mondesi had an RBI triple in the sixth for his first extra-base hit in his 11th game in the majors.The Royals scored more than three runs in a game for the first time in 10 games.Kelvin Herrera picked up his fourth save in six chances, working a perfect ninth.LEADING OFFTravis became the first Blue Jays player to hit a leadoff home run in back-to-back game since Jose Cruz Jr. on April 22-23, 2000, against the Yankees. Mookie Betts of the Red Sox was the last to accomplish that feat in the majors, doing it last month.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: LHP Mike Minor (recovery from labrum surgery) is slated to throw five or six innings, up to 80 pitches, in a Sunday rehab start for Triple-A Omaha. In his prior two rehab starts, he has allowed no earned runs and struck out eight in 5 2/3 innings.UP NEXTBlue Jays: RHP Marcus Stroman, who struck out a career-best 13 Astros on Monday, starts the series finale.Royals: RHP Yordano Ventura is looking for his first victory since June 17. He is 0-5 with a 5.40 ERA in his past seven starts. Discount Nike Air Force 1 Australia Online .

SAN DIEGO -- With 15 seconds left and his San Diego Chargers trying to hold onto a 21-13 lead against Denver, embattled coach Mike McCoy hunched over with his head in his hands.It couldnt be happening again, could it?Two snaps later, Dexter McCoil batted down Trevor Siemians desperation pass and McCoy and the Chargers were able to exhale.We won the game Its a great thing, McCoy said Friday. We made the one stop at the end that we had to make.The Chargers (2-4) snapped a 10-game losing streak to AFC West foes dating to 2014, finally figuring out how not to blow a late lead.Still, they made it far more interesting at the end than needed.The victory came a week after a mistake-filled loss at Oakland. Before that, the Chargers blew big late leads in losses at Kansas City and at home to New Orleans, and a late lead in a loss at Indianapolis.Fans -- and perhaps McCoy, based on his sideline body language -- were on edge in the final seconds against the Broncos.Brandon McManus kicked a 46-yard field goal with 27 seconds left to pull the Broncos within one score. Denver recovered the onside kick at its 46 and got to the San Diego 45 with eight seconds left before Siemians desperation pass was batted down by McCoil.They got the onside and the defense did a great job of doing what we had to do at the end, McCoy said. Its about winning. Its not always going to be pretty. We found a way at the end to make that one stop.It was just the sixth win in the last 22 games for the Chargers, who continue to threaten to move to Los Angeles if voters dont approve a $1.1 billion public handout in the form of a hotel occupancy tax increase on the Nov. 8 ballot.Did it save McCoys job?I come in every day, I do everything I can to help the team win, said McCoy, who is 25-31 overall in four seasons. Thats whhat its all about.dddddddddddd Its not about my job, its about winning football games and putting players in a position to succeed.John Spanos, the president of football operations, and Tom Telesco, the general manager, didnt return emails seeking comment about whether McCoys job was and still is in jeopardy.The Chargers got big performances from rookie tight end Hunter Henry, who caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Philip Rivers, as well as two other rookies, defensive end Joey Bosa and inside linebacker Jatavis Brown.However, they still have big problems on special teams, especially with punt returner Travis Benjamin. Benjamin, signed as a free agent in the offseason, had a punt bounce off his ankle and the Broncos recovered, setting up McManus field goal late in the second quarter.Travis has got to catch that ball, McCoy said. If he does not catch it, he has got to get away from it.On Denvers free kick after a safety early in the fourth quarter, offensive lineman Kenny Wiggins muffed the catch for another turnover that set up a touchdown that pulled the Broncos to 21-10.We were too deep, the guys behind him, where they have to get in position where they can come up and make that catch, McCoy said.The Broncos easily recovered the onside kick late in the game.After Benjamins muff, the Chargers replaced him with Dexter McCluster.McCoy wouldnt say if the move was permanent.Well see. They can both do it.As for Benjamins poor play, Theres some things weve got to change, McCoy said. Its something we have to fix in a hurry.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
