KANSAS CITY, Mo. Wholesale China Jerseys . -- One season after winning the World Series, the Boston Red Sox are playing spoiler -- and doing all they can to extend a playoff drought in Kansas City thats lasted nearly three decades. Allen Webster pitched six solid innings and Jemile Weeks stroked a pair of doubles and scored two runs as the Red Sox defeated the sputtering Royals 4-2 on Friday night. Kansas City lost for the fourth time in five games and fell out of first place in the AL Central for the first time since Aug. 10. The Royals, who are 0-5 against the last-place Red Sox, dropped a half-game behind Detroit, which beat Cleveland 7-2. "Any time you can spoil it for another team is big," Weeks said. Webster (4-3), who had allowed 15 runs on 16 hits and seven walks in 13 2-3 innings over his previous three starts, limited the Royals to four hits -- including Eric Hosmers two-run homer in the fourth. "I just tried to forget about it and attack hitters," Webster said. "Attack them and let the defence work behind me." Weeks, who had a two-run double in the ninth inning Thursday, doubled in the third and fifth. Mookie Betts singled home Weeks in a three-run third. He scored again on Daniel Navas two-out single in the fifth. "Theyre in the hunt," Betts said. "Since were not in it, we might as well put everybody else out of it that we can, but mostly were just having fun playing the game." The Royals, who have not reached the post-season since winning the 1985 World Series, are having anything but fun. "I think everyone is trying a little bit too hard," Alex Gordon said. "Its just not coming together right now. Theres a lot going on just because were in the middle of a pennant race and were not swinging well. Weve got to move on. "I think its just frustration. I dont think pressing as (much as) it is frustrating. The pitching is doing the job. We just need to step up and forget about what we did tonight." The Royals aided the Red Sox in the third, with Betts scoring on third baseman Mike Moustakas throwing error and Nava scoring on Yordano Venturas wild pitch. "We definitely could have played better," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Ventura (12-10), who had won his previous three starts, gave up four runs -- three earned -- and seven hits in seven innings. He also hit two batters with pitches. Red Sox relievers Tommy Layne, Burke Badenhop, Koji Uehara and Edward Mujica held the Royals hitless for the final three innings. Mujica earned his sixth save.

Watch Eugenie Bouchards opening round match at the Australian Open live tonight on TSN5 at 3am et/Midnight pt.PENTICTON, B.C. - Johnny Gaudreau has a single NHL game under his belt, but hes already earned a very catchy nickname.Known as Johnny Hockey in an homage to Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and the Johnny Football brand, the slick Calgary Flames prospect is turning heads because of his moves, and his moniker.(The nickname) is kind of cool, unless youve got (teammates) tweeting from my Twitter that I am Johnny Hockey and no one knows its them tweeting it, said Gaudreau. Thats probably one of the downfalls of it, but other than that its something special and unique.Generously listed at five foot nine and 160 pounds, the native of Carneys Point, N.J., is special and unique in his own right, and those talents were on full display at the recent rookie tournament hosted by the Vancouver Canucks.The shifty Gaudreau caused a minor uproar in the hockey world with an outrageous goal against the Winnipeg Jets prospects where he undressed a helpless defenceman before roofing a spectacular backhand.A video of the play was posted online within minutes and had social media buzzing. Its something special you get to have, Gaudreau said modestly. I made a nice little play there and got the shot off. I was fortunate to have it go in the net and have a whole bunch of people talk about it.Drafted 104th overall back in 2011, Gaudreau took a different route than many prospects at the rookie tournament — which included prospects from the Edmonton Oilers, Flames, Canucks and Jets. He played three years at Boston College, finishing with an eye-popping 36 goals and 44 assists in just 40 games last season to win the Hobey Baker Award as the top collegiate player in the U.S.The 21-year-old has great vision on the ice and seems to have the puck on a string at times, but said his size has always been an issue.With every small player you definitely need to show people you can play, said Gaudreau. Because youre a smaller guy youre at a disadvantage and you need to be better offensively, defensively, at making plays and stuff like that. Its every small guys problem.Other players at the rookie tournament took notice of his talents, including Oilers draft pick Leon Draisaitl, who played against Gaudreaus U.S. team as a member of the German squad at the world championships this spring.Hes small, tiny, and probably one of the most skilled guys Ive eveer seen, said Draisaitl. Cheap China Jerseys Authentic. That game we played against him he had four points against us and was by far the best player on the ice.A fan of the Philadelphia Flyers growing up, Gaudreau said he was inspired by the likes of Daniel Briere and Martin St. Louis because of how they excelled in a big mans game.Its hard not to have them as your favourite players when theyre successful in the NHL as smaller guys, said Gaudreau. Its someone you look up to and you watch in your career and want to become like.Gaudreau, who scored a goal in his only NHL game at the end of last season, said his stature worked against him a lot more when he was growing up.I got cut when I was younger a lot ... it sucks but its something you need to overcome, said Gaudreau, who should be at Flames training camp when it starts Thursday. Every players been there, whether youre playing in bantam or in the NHL. Everyone needs to overcome it at some point.As the years went on I felt like I was getting closer and closer. Im pretty fortunate to be here with a ton of great players.Adirondack Flames head coach Ryan Huska led Calgarys prospects team in Penticton and said Gaudreau brings something special every time he touches the puck.Hes got this ability where youre amazed, said Huska. He slows the game down in a positive way. Everybody talks about speeding the game up and how we want to play faster, but theres something to be said for a player that can slow it down.Hes one of those players ... hell bring people to their feet and energy to his bench.Added linemate and 2014 fourth overall pick Sam Bennett: Its amazing. Hes an unbelievably skilled player. Any time you get a chance to play with a guy like that, good things are going to happen.Sean Monahan, the sixth overall pick in 2013, made the Flames last year and it remains to be seen if Gaudreau, Bennett or another Calgary prospect can crack the roster this year for a franchise that is rebuilding and has not made the playoffs since 2009.Its one of the organizations you want to be a part of as a younger guy, said Gaudreau. Management says theres open spots so youve got to go into camp thinking that youre going to be in one of those spots and just try to prove that you belong there.Whether I play in the AHL or the NHL, either or, Im just going to do the best I can and see where that goes.
