ST. LOUIS -- Overcoming two blown saves gave the Kansas City Royals reason to believe this trip would be better.Its hard to come in here and not only once but twice take the lead and have them answer back, Eric Hosmer said after a 3-2, 12-inning victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night. I think the guys realize our bullpen doesnt do that too often, so when it does happen we do whatever we can to pick them up.The Royals are just 14-25 on the road, one of the worst records in the majors. Theyre the best at home at 27-11.Weve just got to continue to play our game, Hosmer said. Theres still a lot of season left.Alcides Escobar hit a go-ahead RBI double just inside the right-field line in the 12th after driving in the first run of the game with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the eighth. His fly to shallow right off Seth Maness (0-2) fell just in front of Stephen Piscotty, whose homer leading off the 10th tied it at 2.They scratched one, we scratched one, Royals manager Ned Yost said. It was one of those nights where pitching was really, really good.Chien-Ming Wang (5-0) worked two scoreless innings for Kansas City, which survived blown saves by Wade Davis and Joakim Soria, stranded 19 runners and used all of its bench players. The Royals are 39-50 in the I-70 interleague series but 14-12 at 11-year-old Busch Stadium.Whit Merrifield put Kansas City ahead in the 10th when a potential double-play grounder was booted by second baseman Matt Carpenter and Merrifield got an RBI. He also doubled with one out in the 12th.Piscotty had believed Escobars double would drop foul with runners on first and third. He ended up twisting his ankle diving to make the play and wasnt sure whether he could play Thursday.I didnt want to catch it. If I catch that ball he tags and scores, Piscotty said. Unfortunately for me and the team, it was fair.Jhonny Peraltas two-out single tied it at 1 in the ninth against Davis, the second blown save in 20 chances for the Royals closer.Edinson Volquez worked 6 2/3 innings of six-hit ball in a strong bounce-back effort for Kansas City. He gave up 11 earned runs in one inning his last start.Carlos Martinez allowed eight hits in six-plus scoreless innings for St. Louis, just 15-22 at home. The three-time defending NL Central champions were 55-26 at home last season and have lost the opener of five consecutive homestands.Martinez has allowed two earned runs in 28 1/3 innings in his last four starts. He was limited to 89 pitches because of worries about cumulative fatigue.It actually was a really good idea, because Ive been a little tired, Martinez said through an interpreter. I had pitched many innings in previous games.NICE DKendrys Morales made his first start in the outfield since 2008 a non-issue, tracking down Carpenters drive to the wall in right field in the third.

North American and European League Championship Series teams have written a letter to league organizer and League of Legends developer Riot Games to address financial concerns, league chartership plans, revenue sharing and relegation from the League, as confirmed by league sources to ESPN.The original letter, earlier reported by Slingshot Esports, was signed by 18 of the 20 participating LCS teams and addressed to Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill, co-head of esports Whalen Rozelle, co-head of esports Jarred Kennedy and head of EU esports Jason Yeh, and copied to other Riot co-founder Brandon Beck. It highlights six alleged issues with the current structure and Riot-proposed structure in place that require solving and suggests potential options for solution.The 18 owners of the teams collectively wrote that they believe there are issues in job security caused by relegation from the league, as well as lack of compensation, which is currently a Riot-given minimum of $12,500 per player per split in North America and €11,250 in Europe. The letter also claims the current model of relegation does not allow for teams to generate enough revenue to invest in their players.The letter also alleges that Riot Games is currently constructing charter memberships for 2018 in North America and 2019 in Europe, a system similar to francchising.dddddddddddd The owners concern is that Riot has not assured them that they will be involved in this charter. In addition, the team agreements, which are signed twice a year for each split, do not automatically renew. The letter calls for an auto renewal, which guarantees that teams that remain in the league are granted spots in the league by default.In the letter, the team owners state that Riots terms simply will not fix the instability and financial losses which the Teams have articulated to Riot in detail. Furthermore, after proposing solutions, the owners add that The compromise solution will not effectively solve the problems stated above and, at best, will still find the Teams operating at a loss in 2017. We believe, however that, given Riots position on these issues, the compromise solution outlined above is a minimally acceptable path forward for 2017.Immortals, Team Liquid, Team Vitality, and Misfits have declined to comment on the letter. Riot Games, Cloud 9, Unicorns of Love, Origen, Fnatic, G2 Esports, Phoenix1, Giants Gaming, Counter Logic Gaming, Splyce, H2K Gaming, Team EnVyUs, Team Dignitas, Team SoloMid and Team ROCCAT have yet to respond to a request for comment.
