Adam Jones hit a home run off Royals reliever Nick Adcock in the 15th inning to break a 3-3 tie and give the Baltimore Orioles a 4-3 win Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium. The loss snapped a Royals four game win streak.

The Royals bullpen had a 1.04 ERA in the past seven games, but relievers Kelvin Herrera and Jonathan Broxton gave up three runs on six hits in the eighth and ninth innings, allowing Baltimore to tie the game.

Broxton came on in the ninth, but blew his second save in 10 tries when he gave up a solo homer to former Royal Wilson Betemit. Then with two outs, J.J. Hardy’s single up the middle scored pinch-runner Ryan Flaherty just ahead of the tag at home to tie the game.

Humberto Quintero’s two-out single in the fifth scored Jeff Francoeur and Alcides Escobar. Alex Gordon’s two-out double in the eighth scored Mitch Maier to give the Royals a 3-1 lead.

Billy Butler and Brayan Pena each drove in a pair of runs as the Royals scored four runs in the first and tacked on more in the next two innings to lead to their second straight win over the Rangers, 7-4 on Tuesday night.

The Royals have now won five of six games and pulled off a rare two-game sweep of the Rangers, the club’s first since 1977.

Vin Mazzaro was making his first start of the year for the Royals, taking the place of injured Danny Duffy, and gave up three runs on seven hits with two strikeouts in five innings.

The Royals took advantage of gifts from Rangers starter Colby Lewis. Two throwing errors led to five unearned runs in the first two innings. Mike Moustakas reached base for the 22nd straight game by homering in the third.

Royals Reliever Tim Collins struck out five of the six batters he faced in the sixth and seventh innings for the Royals.

The Kansas City Royals announced that after an examination by Dr. Vincent Key at The University of Kansas Hospitals, left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Duffy is expected to get a second opinion on his elbow from Dr. Lewis Yocum of Los Angeles, Calif., at a to-be-determined date and time.

Duffy will be a likely candidate for Tommy John surgery.

Bruce Chen worked 6.2 innings baffling Rangers hitters most of the night to pick up his second win of the season with a 3-1 win for the Royals in Texas Monday night.

Chen walked two and gave up five hits including a solo homer to Nelson Cruz for his only blemish, but the rest of the night he had the Rangers guessing. Cruz also struck out three times and Chen fooled Josh Hamilton a couple of times. Hamilton loss the grip on his bat twice and sent it flying into the seats. Hamilton finished the night 1 for 3.

Scott Feldman (0-1) allowed two unearned runs over 4.2 innings while making a spot start. Feldman gave up three hits, the last a two-run single by No. 9 hitter Alcides Escobar right after third baseman Adrian Beltre’s two-out throwing error in the fifth. Former Ranger Jeff Francoeur led off the fifth with a single before Chris Getz hit a two-out bouncer to third. Beltre had plenty of time, but threw the ball wide of first base.

Jonathan Broxton worked the ninth for his eighth save in nine chances for the Royals, who have won 11 of 17 since their 12-game losing streak in April.

On Sunday, Royals utility player Irving Falu picked up his first major league RBI in his fifth game as a big-leaguer.
