BOSTON -- Danny Duffy figured his winning streak would end sometime.Its just the way it did that bothered him.Duffy was hit for three homers and seven runs in five innings as the Boston Red Sox ran away for an 8-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.I dont ever expect to go out there and really have it handed to me like I did tonight, Duffy said. I expect to keep my team in the game every time I go out. No, I dont ever expect to do something like that.Duffy (11-2) allowed nine hits with two walks and two strikeouts, halting a personal 10-game winning streak.Good stuff, but just had trouble putting it where he wanted to, Royals manager Ned Yost said. He was kind of wild in the zone a little bit.Salvador Perez hit two solo homers for the Royals, who lost for just the fourth time 20 games.Duffy had allowed two or fewer runs in five straight starts -- and six of seven -- before Boston took care of that string with two each in the first and second innings.I didnt make pitches when I needed to, he said. They were selling out on everything and I just didnt keep the ball down. But I expect better than that. I expect better than that every time.Bostons Dustin Pedroia had four hits to extend his streak to 11 straight at-bats before bouncing into a double play with a chance to tie the major-league record.Pedroias streak, which stretched over three games, ended in the eighth inning.

His 11th was a ground single to center in the sixth. He then bounced in the double play in the eighth.Betts hit his 29th, a solo shot, in the fifth and Ramirez followed with his two pitches later to nearly the same spot, two rows into the Monster seats about three fans apart. After watching Ramirezs drive land in the seats, Duffy just smiled in disbelief as he waited for a new ball from home plate umpire Adrian Johnson.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Wade Davis (flexor strain), LHP Jason Vargas (recovering from Tommy John surgery) and RHP Kris Medlen (right rotator cuff inflammation) all pitched for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.Red Sox: Manager John Farrell said RHP Koji Uehara (strained chest muscle) threw 53 pitches with good intensity in a bullpen session on Friday and hes expected to throw again Monday. ...

Morghan King was interning as a graphic designer and working at an organic breakfast restaurant in Seattle when she put real life on hold to become a weightlifter.Four years later, King is heading to Rio de Janeiro to compete in the Olympics. Its been a rapid rise to the top for the 30-year-old strongwoman.I gave up my whole other life to pursue weightlifting for the dream of making the Olympics, King said. Once I put my mind to something, I go after it 110 percent. I was fortunate enough to have the support system to allow me to do that.The 5-foot, 106-pound King is one of only four athletes -- three female -- representing the U.S. in weightlifting. Kendrick Farris, Sarah Robles and Jenny Arthur also are going to Brazil.King, who grew up in Redmond, Washington, played soccer at Notre Dame de Namur University, where she received a bachelors degree in graphic design.She participated in triathlons after college before a friend of a friend suggested CrossFit. That led her to boyfriend Dean Kruse, who introduced her to weightlifting and has coached her along the way.I realized that I wanted to be very competitive again and when I decided to get stronger for CrossFit, I found weightlifting and fell in love, King said.King and Kruse moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, three years ago so she could start training for the Olympics.I tried `real life after I graduated college, she said. I love that side of myself but I am so passionate about athletics and sports that I always kept coming back to them. I now know that being involved in sports is where Im supposed to be.King finished fourth in hher first national meet at the 2012 American Open.dddddddddddd She then dropped down from the 53-kilogram class to 48 kg and soon qualified for the 2013 International Weightlifting Federations World Championships.Zygmunt Smalcerz, the resident weightlifting team coach at the U.S. Olympic training center, saw her perform and invited her to train under him in Colorado Springs, Colorado.So King and Kruse packed their bags and moved again.There is no way I could have done it without Dean, King said. He has been with me since the beginning. Without his guidance and passion for the sport, my journey would have been pretty lonely.In 2015, Kruse resumed coaching King under the program guidance of Shahin Nasarinia, a former Iranian weightlifting champion.King qualified for the Olympics by lifting a total of 180 kg -- 80 kg snatch and 100 kg clean and jerk -- at the U.S. trials in May.Shes excited to make it this far but wont be satisfied coming home empty-handed.Its my goal to have a medal around my neck, King said. I know I have the capability to do it.No American weightlifter has brought home a medal since 2000, the first year women took part in the Summer Games. Tara Nott (48 kg) won a gold and Cheryl Haworth (75 kg) earned a bronze that year. U.S. men havent won a medal since 1984.We have a very competitive womens team going to Rio, King said. I think not only myself but all of us girls have the capacity of bringing hardware home. I think thats pretty special. ' ' '
