KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Billy Burns entered as a pinch runner in the ninth, but ended it two innings later with his bat.Burns sacrifice fly scored Raul Mondesi in the 11th inning as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-3 Tuesday night, staving off postseason elimination.The defending World Series champions are five games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card with five to play. The Orioles lost 5-1 at Toronto on Tuesday night.Mondesi drew a walk from Tommy Milone to lead off the inning, stole second and moved to third on Jarrod Dysons sacrifice bunt. Whit Merrifield and Eric Hosmer were walked intentionally to load the bases before Burns hit a fly ball to center field that was deep enough to get Mondesi home.My approach was try to get the barrel on it, Burns said. I was very confident if I got it to the outfield, Mondi was going to score, so that was really what I was trying to do. The only thought was did I hit it far enough, fortunately with Mondi over there and the outfielder wasnt able to run straight in on the ball and get that momentum that played a factor.Rookie Brooks Pounders (2-1), the eighth Royals pitcher, picked up the victory, getting the final two outs of the 11th inning.The Twins used nine pitchers, matching a club record for an extra-inning game. Milone (3-5) was charged with the loss.Twins rookie starter Jose Berrios was pulled after 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on four hits. Berrios, who has an 8.61 ERA in 13 starts, said he was surprised to see manager Paul Molitor come out to remove him after only 77 pitches.I knew that I gave up those two runs in the fourth inning, but I felt good, Berrios said. I felt comfortable and I felt like I was doing a good job of getting the batters out. But, hes the manager, so thats his position. You have to respect that and move on.Royals starter Ian Kennedy was removed after five innings and 106 pitches. He gave up three runs on five hits, while striking out five and walking three. He yielded a solo home run to Eduardo Escobar in a 10-pitch at-bat in the fourth inning.Juan Centeno doubled home Escobar in the second inning for the first run. Max Keplers two-out fifth inning single scored Brian Dozier.The Royals bullpen shutout the Twins the final six innings with Peter Moylan getting perhaps the biggest two outs of the game. Moylan inherited runners at second and third with one out in the sixth. He struck out Bryon Buxton and retired James Beresford on a grounder.I knew with a runner on third base that I probably needed to strike out Buxton and then was able to get Beresford, which was perfect, Moylan said. I knew I had one base open, so I didnt have to attack the zone, which I normally would have.The Royals scored two in the fourth on Hosmer run-producing single, his 101st RBI, and Merrifield came home when Kendrys Morales grounded into a double play. Jarrod Dysons two-out single in the fifth scored Paulo Orlando to tie the score at 3.Pinch runner Terrance Gore stole second and third, his 11th steal in 12 attempts, in the Kansas City eighth, but Merrifield bunted into an inning ending double play.NEWMAN VISITSNASCAR driver Ryan Newman, who is a friend of Royals manager Ned Yost, visited the team and was in uniform before the game.SCHAFER BATS FIFTHTwins LF Logan Schafer batted fifth for the first time this year and the seventh time in his career.

The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrators decision suspending him for the 2014 season and post-season. Whatever happens on the field, Moana Hope is already the AFL womens league player who taught Gillon McLachlan how to dab.Hope announced herself on Wednesday as the first cult figure of the inaugural league, which starts next February.She was among 16 players announced as the marquee signings for the eight clubs.Rather than shake the AFL chief executives hand when she walked on stage at the media conference in Melbourne, Hope and McLachlan greeted each other with a dab.It is a hip-hop move that has become popular as a celebration, particularly in the NFL and NBA.Asked about Hopes personality, McLachlan laughed and replied: You can tell straight away - the dabbing wasnt my idea. I didnt know what dabbing was.Hope would have stood out regardless, given her right arm is covered in tattoos.She grew up in Broadmeadows - Eddie McGuire territory - and naturally will play for Collingwood.McLachlan immediately nicknamed her Mo Swan after the much-inked Magpies Brownlow Medallist.Dane Swans a legend, so Im happy with that, and Im happy to dab any time, Hope said of the obvious comparison.Im just blessed - Im blessed with this opportunity and I cant wait to get started.She said McLachlan acquitted himself well in his dabbing debut.There was a lot of explaining and then there was a lot of practising, she said.He did pretty well for his first time. I think he held it too long, but I was impressed.And like Swan, there is much more to Hope than tattoos and an engaging personality.Mo is a super-talented forward. Shes winning the goalkicking by a long stretch in the VFL, said Melbourne star Daisy Pearce.I dont how many goalkicking awards shes won.Pearce famoussly said last month she would play for Melbourne or no one else and the midfielder is rapt that the womens marquee signings are now known.ddddddddddddIve been saying for a long time that my face and my story isnt the only story out there, she said.There are some wonderful stories among all those girls who were picked today.They are all really deserving selections.Victoria, which will have four teams in the womens league, and Western Australia lead the way in player development.So rather than concentrate too much talent in the Fremantle side, several top WA players will move interstate.Of the 16 players named on Wednesday, Fremantles pair and seven others are from WA.If they had all remained in the one team, it would have been a very dominant team, Pearce said.For equalisation and the competition, its not a bad thing that a few those girls are looking for opportunities elsewhere.THE AFL WOMENS LEAGUE 16 MARQUEE PLAYERS:ADELAIDEChelsea Randall (25, WA, forward)Kellie Gibson (20, WA, forward)BRISBANETayla Harris (19, Qld, ruck-forward)Sabrina Frederick-Traub (20, WA, ruck-forward)CARLTONBrianna Davey (21, WA, utility)Darcy Vescio (23, Vic, key forward)COLLINGWOODMoana Hope (28, Vic, key forward)Emma King (22, WA, ruck)FREMANTLEKara Donnellan (24, WA, midfielder)Kiara Bowers (24, WA, midfielder)GWSRenee Forth (29, WA, midfielder)Emma Swanson (21, WA, midfielder)MELBOURNEDaisy Pearce (28, Vic, midfielder)Mel Hickey (31, Vic, defender)WESTERN BULLDOGSKatie Brennan (23, Vic, forward)Ellie Blackburn (21, Vic, midfielder) ' ' '
