DENVER -- Melky Cabrera staked Kansas City to an early lead. nfl jerseys china . His teammates made it stand up. Cabrera homered twice and drove in five runs as the Kansas City Royals tied a team record with 12 extra-base hits and outslugged Carlos Gonzalez and the Colorado Rockies 16-8 Sunday. "Great day," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Two homers, swung the bat well and a triple shy of the cycle." Cabrera and Eric Hosmer, who also homered, had four hits apiece as Kansas City ended a five-game losing streak. Mike Moustakas and Jeff Francoeur each got three of the Royals season-high 21 hits. The Royals 12 extra-base hits tied a franchise record set May 13, 1979. Cabrera matched his career best for hits and RBIs. "Melky got us started and after that we just started driving the ball," Francoeur said. "Weve got an offence thats pretty good. We can score some runs, but the last two weeks weve struggled." Kansas City tagged Jason Hammel (4-8) for six runs in 3 2-3 innings. Cabrera hit a solo homer in the first and a three-run homer in the third, and the Royals took a 6-0 lead in the fourth. "We were aggressive and we had a pretty good approach against that guy," Cabrera said. Gonzalez homered and tied a career high with six RBIs. But he left in the seventh inning after he ran into the centre-field wall and injured his right wrist. Gonzalez caught Brayan Penas fly, hit the wall and was down on the warning track for several minutes. He was driven off the field on a cart and taken to a hospital for X-rays. "We dont think that theres anything serious," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "He went face first into that wall, making what we think is the play of the year. He was more sore on the glove hand, his right wrist." Several teammates jogged out to centre to check on Gonzalez. "I went out there after he hit the wall and I think hes OK, but Im not a doctor," shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said. "Give him credit, hes not scared of the wall. He plays the game the right way." Colorado rallied for five runs in the fifth against Kansas City starter Luke Hochevar, a Denver native. Gonzalez hit a three-run double and Mark Ellis hit a two-run homer -- his second home run in three games with Colorado. Reliever Blake Wood (4-0) struck out Tulowitzki and Seth Smith to end the threat. Wood got the win despite allowing three runs in 1 2-3 innings. The Royals scored six runs in the sixth against reliever Matt Belisle. Moustakas had two hits in the inning and Francoeur had a two-run double to give the Royals a 12-5 lead. "Those tack-on runs were huge," Yost said. "When you score early, get a six-run lead and they come back and score five runs and you snuff it out with another six spot, its huge." During the burst, Kansas City outfielder Alex Gordon left the game after getting hit by a pitch on the left knee. Yost said Gordon suffered a bruise and is day-to-day. The Rockies got three runs back on Gonzalezs homer in the bottom half, his 13th of the season. Hosmer hit his sixth homer, a three-run drive in a four-run seventh that made it 16-8. "When they made it 12-8 we put up four more," Francoeur said. "It was fun to play in a game like this where everybodys chipping in. Hopefully this will give us confidence going forward." NOTES: Cabreras previous five-RBI game was Sept. 22, 2007, when he was with the Yankees. His previous four-hit game was Aug. 21, 2009, also with New York. ... The Royals previous high for runs this season was 11, against Minnesota on April 30. ... The Rockies purchased the contract of Eric Stults from triple-A Colorado Springs and optioned RHP Greg Reynolds to the Sky Sox. jerseys from china . Cook (2-5) scattered six hits, struck out two and walked two in his longest outing of an injury-delayed season.

Hill participated in the teams morning shootaround, which is part of the process of passing his concussion test. But doctors had not yet cleared Hill to play.After a good start in Nashville the Winnipeg Jets looked for more of that in Dallas, in game two of a four game road trip. The Jets outshot Dallas 14-8 in the first and did create some very good scoring chances, but were not able to be Kari Lehtonen. The only downside for the Jets, other than not scoring on those Grade “A” chances, was the face-off circle, where the Jets were badly outdrawn by Dallas. Each team had a power play in the scoreless opening 20 minutes. Devin Setoguchi who scored his first ever NHL goal in Dallas and has nine goals in 16 career games in Dallas had two opportunities but was foiled by Lehtonen. Ondrej Pavelec with his sixth straight start was solid in the first, his best save on a partial breakaway by Ray Whitney. A banged up Evander Kane was questionable going into the game, but did play leaving the Jets line combinations as they were in Nashville, although as we have seen quite often Coach Claude Noel did a bit of juggling from time to time. Kane opened the scoring 3:28 into the second period banging home a rebound of a Dustin Byfuglien shot. It was Kanes team-leading sixth of the year and his first road point. Kane has now opened the scoring twice this season. It was only the third time in 12 games the Jets scored first. The Jets started the third with another great chance. It was a two-on-one with Andrew Ladd feeding Bryan Little only to have Littles shot hit the post. The Stars tied the game at 6:36 on a shot from the point by Stephane Robidas and the goal injected some energy into the Stars bench as they fired 16 shots on Pavelec in the third. The Jets were nailed for too many men on the ice at 19:34 of the third and Pavelec sent the game to overtime with a terrific point blank pad save off Jamie Benn in the final seconds of regulation. It marked the fourth time in five games the Jets went to extra time. The overtime period produced several chances, including a couple of short-handed opportunities by the JJets. Michael kors Handbags Black Friday 2014. Once back to full strength the Jets had the better chances outshooting Dallas 6-2 in the five minute overtime. The shootout was as follows: Benn (miss), Olli Jokinen (miss), Alex Chaisson (miss), Ladd (goal), Ray Whitney (miss). Ladd is now a perfect 3-for-3 in shootouts this season. The Jets are now 2-1 in the shootout this season. With the win the Jets have now picked up points in five of their last seven games, with a record of 3-2-2 for eight of a possible 14 points. They are now 2-1-1 on the road and 5-5-2 on the season. Each of the four road games has been decided by one goal. Pavelec now has the franchise lead in wins with 95, one ahead of Lehtonen, an Atlanta pick in 2002. Winnipeg went 0-for-2 on the power play and were a perfect 4-for-4 on the penalty kill. Setoguchi lead the Jets in shots on goal with six with Byfuglien leading the way in ice time with 28:52, followed by Zach Bogosian at 25:02. The Jets again were minus Jim Slater and Jacob Trouba, who are on injured reserve, Chris Thorburn who is off IR, Adam Pardy and Patrice Cormier were healthy scratches. Coach Noel again liked a lot of what his team did. “We started well,” he told TSN. “It was a good road game for us. The penalty kill at the end was huge and Pavelec was superb. We controlled their top line.” “Disappointed how their goal happened but we bounced back,” Noel would add. “The extra point was huge because it would have been three straight games to lose the point. I liked the effort of our group. The Wright line was good, Setoguchi was and Jokinen were good, but Pavelec was our best guy.” The Jets play in Colorado Sunday with Al Montoya expected to start. That game can be caught live on TSN Jets and TSN Radio 1290 starting at 7pm ct. The Avs are 9-1 on the season and perhaps the surprise of the NHL. The game against the Avs will be Jokinens 1100th NHL game, James Wrights 100th NHL game. ' ' '
