ANAHEIM, Calif. - After a cross-country scramble that included the birth of his first child, a night in the hospital and some fast talking, just getting inside Angel Stadium was quite a relief for Kansas City closer Greg Holland.Holland capped off his wild adventure with a save Thursday night as the Royals held off the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 in 11 innings in their AL Division Series opener.Not bad, considering he got to the ballpark in the middle of the game.The guy that dropped me off did a great job getting me here, but he didnt really know where to go, and I didnt know where to go, either, Holland said before Game 2 on Friday night.So I kind of made a few security guards nervous running up to them with a pack over my shoulder with my ID in my hand saying, Im a player. Im a player. Dont tackle me to the ground kind of thing.The rush began after Holland helped the Royals beat Oakland in the wild-card game Tuesday night in Kansas City. He then chartered a flight to Asheville, North Carolina.Shortly before 9 p.m. Wednesday, wife Lacey delivered Nash Gregory Holland. The pitcher spent the night in the hospital a€” both his wife and son are doing well a€” and prepared to rejoin the Royals on the West Coast.Me and my wife kind of booked all that, so it was kind of hectic trying to do that while youre in the delivery room booking flights and stuff, he said. But we made it work.Holland said he got on a chartered plane around 4 p.m. Thursday and arrived at John Wayne Airport in Southern California about 7 p.m.The game was tied at 1 in the fourth inning when Hollands driver headed to the ballpark. Finding his way inside took a little longer.It was kind of hectic running through the parking lot. But they let me in, he said.It was kind of weird when a guys like, Youre a player? Thats not possible because the game is in the fifth inning. But I had to explain the details and actually got a congratulations and he jogged me right down the concourse and got me where I needed to go, Holland said.He got loose in the locker room and made it to the bullpen in the middle of the sixth inning. And that settled down Royals manager Ned Yost.I mean, I was locked into the game, but I was locked into where the heck he was, too, Yost said. OK, am I going to have Holly or am I not going to have Holly?He was supposed to be here at 3. Ended up, last I heard, 6. And the game started, and it was like 7. Is Holly here yet? he said.In the 11th, Yost called on Holland to protect a one-run lead. Holland struck out his first two batters and retired Josh Hamilton on a popup to end it.Physically, I was kind of worn out, he said. Im glad it turned out good and there wasnt a whole lot of turmoil in the bottom half of that inning. Balenciaga Sneakers Sale Uk .

PAUL, Minn. - Despite losing one of their best players and a big lead, the Anaheim Ducks still found a way to win Friday night.Matt Beleskey scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period to give Anaheim a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild.Ryan Kesler had two goals, and Jakob Silfverberg and Tim Jackman also scored for the Ducks, who rallied after giving up a 3-0 lead and trailing 4-3 early in the third period.Thats not how you draw it up, but its two points at the end of the day, Beleskey said.Mikko Koivu, Zach Parise, Jonas Brodin and Justin Fontaine scored for the Wild.Wild coach Mike Yeo said the rally was nice to see, but not good enough.We rallied back, but theres no reason any of us should have a good feeling about any of that, Yeo said. We lost the game. We found a way to grab the lead, but we didnt win it.Fontaine gave Minnesota its first lead of the game at 2:07 of the third with his second goal of the season, but Jackman tied it 90 seconds later.It was good timing we were able to respond and get the game tied up, Jackman said. We were winning 3-0 then all of a sudden its 4-3, so to get that response and tie it up right away gave us the confidence again.Beleskey regained the lead for the Ducks at 8:28 with his 13th of the season.Anaheim lost forward Corey Perry midway through the first on a hit from Minnesota defenceman Keith Ballard. Perry had to be helped off the ice by a trainer and couldnt put weight on his left leg.Ballard dipped low to check Perry near the boards, flipping the Ducks leading goal scorer in the air before he landed hard on the ice. No penalty was called, but Ballard and Nate Thompson fought two minutes later.Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said Perry will travel to Winnipeg and theyll know more about the injury on Saturday.Ballards done that a couple times now. He hits low, I dont know if it was too low or what because I didnt want to look at it yet, Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. Ill look at it on the plane, but it is whhat it is and well just readjust.dddddddddddd.Kesler and Silfverberg scored in the first period and then Kesler got his second of the game at 2:28 of the second to put the Ducks up 3-0.Minnesotas 29th-ranked power play then responded.Koivu and Parise scored with the man advantage 11 seconds apart to make it 3-2 at 5:10 of the second. And with 2:11 left in the period, Brodin flicked the puck toward the net and in to tie the score.Seconds earlier, Keslers shot from the point bounced over goalie Darcy Kuemper and was heading in before Nate Prosser covered it and knocked it out. The no-goal ruling stood after a replay review.Like Perrys injury and surrendering the big lead, the no-goal ruling was just another obstacle for Anaheim to overcome.It seems like were almost used to that kind of game, defenceman Clayton Stoner said. We like to do things the hard way and its one of those things where you cant get up too high. We might have been up too high after we got up a few goals.Kuemper, who gave up five goals on 18 shots, was replaced by Niklas Backstrom after Beleskeys score. Kuemper has allowed at least four goals in three of his last four starts.Well have to discuss that, Yeo said when asked Kuempers status. Obviously, we have to make sure that were strong there and we have to make sure that were playing the right game in front of him. Well evaluate that carefully.Ryan Suter, Minnesotas top defencemen, skated in the morning but missed his second straight game with the mumps. Suter is the fifth Wild defender to miss time with the mumps this season.Three Ducks players also have gotten the mumps this season.NOTES: Jared Spurgeon and Prosser are the only two Wild defenders who havent gotten the mumps. ...
