Oh my.
Finally good news for everybody.
HOUSTON (AP) — Miguel Olivo homered on the first pitch in the 11th inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Houston Astros 4-3 Wednesday night.
Olivo’s shot against Jeff Fulchino (2-3) ricocheted off the railing in center field and bounced back onto the field. It was his 11th homer and gave the Royals their second straight win after they broke a five-game losing streak with Tuesday’s win in the series opener.
Joakim Soria (2-0) blew a save chance but got the win. John Bale pitched a perfect 11th for his first save.....

Yankees 8, Braves 4
ATLANTA — The New York Yankees took their time scoring against the Braves. Then they got an unlikely home run — and a long-awaited offensive boost from Alex Rodriguez.
Francisco Cervelli hit his first career homer to break a 14-inning drought in Atlanta, then Rodriguez came through with a two-run single that sparked the Yankees to a 8-4 victory, snapping New York’s three-game losing streak.
