KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- James Loney delivered the clutch hit for Tampa Bay after Chris Archer kept Kansas City from getting one. Loney hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Rays over the Royals 1-0 on Tuesday night following an impressive pitchers duel between top young arms. Archer wriggled out of two bases-loaded jams and went seven innings. Royals rookie Yordano Ventura dazzled in his season debut, holding Tampa Bay to two hits in six innings. "I saw some really good pitching on the other side," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "Archer was on top of his game. This guy had a big league two-seamer, 92-95 mph, throwing strikes with it, real efficient with his two-seamer and his slider. He had some nasty stuff working." Loneys grounder to right scored Wil Myers, who snapped an 0-for-15 slump when he reached on an infield single to start the ninth. Myers advanced on a two-out wild pitch by Greg Holland (0-1). "Loney is a very calm guy," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He does not get excited and I appreciate that about him." Loneys grounder got past a diving Danny Valencia at second base. "I wanted to hit it hard," Loney said. "You always want to hit it hard and hopefully not at somebody." Holland said he would have liked to have that last pitch to Loney back. "With first base open and essentially the winning run on second, Ive got to get that ball down a little more," Holland said. "Ive got to be smarter than that. In that mindset, I didnt execute the pitch and it cost us the game." Joel Peralta (1-1) struck out Valencia with the bases loaded, and Grant Balfour worked the ninth for his second save. Ventura walked none and struck out six, including Myers three times. "Ventura was really throwing good fastballs, triple digits at times," Yost said. "He threw some good breaking balls, but really had a good changeup working to keep them off balance. He matched up against a good pitcher and came out with nothing to show for it." Venturas initial scheduled start in Detroit was rained out, so he was making his first appearance since March 29 in spring training. "Its a lot of time between pitching," Ventura said. "Its my job. No matter how many days off, you have to do your job. I was just glad I was able to do my job today. Im used to pitching every five days. Thats what I want. It was a little tough." Archer pitched out of bases-loaded, one-out jams in the third and sixth. He induced Eric Hosmer to ground into a double play to end the third. In the sixth, Archer retired Alex Gordon on an infield popup and Valencia on a grounder to leave the bases full. "I had confidence," Archer said. "I didnt at any point think I was going to fail. The way we were playing D I felt like we were going to get it done." The Royals loaded the bases again in the eighth against Jake McGee and Peralta, but Valencia looked at three straight strikes from Peralta to end the inning. Mike Moustakas, hitless in his first 21 at-bats this season, opened the Royals ninth with a single to centre but went no further. Tampa Bay missed an opportunity in the eighth when Royals reliever Wade Davis walked Matt Joyce and plunked pinch-hitter Logan Forsythe with a pitch. Davis recovered to strike out Yunel Escobar and David DeJesus. NOTES: The Rays placed LHP Matt Moore on the 15-day disabled list with an elbow injury. An MRI exam was inconclusive and Moore will see Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday or Thursday for further exams. ... The Rays recalled LHP Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham. ... Tests revealed Royals 2B Omar Infante has a sprained jaw, but no fracture, after being struck by a pitch from Heath Bell in the seventh inning Monday. Infante, who needed six stiches, will be evaluated over the next 48 hours, but the preliminary diagnosis was that he would not miss many games. ... Valencia made his first big league start at second base. ... The Royals lost for the first time since Aug. 30, 2013, at Toronto when allowing four hits or fewer.

Steve Grogan Jersey .Y. -- The New York Islanders were merely content with a lopsided victory.CHARLOTTE, N.C. - While driving Dale Earnhardts legendary black No. 3 Chevrolet last season was the experience of a lifetime for Austin Dillon, nothing crazy happened in his rookie season.He wants that to change in 2015.We have to start getting crazier, Dillon said Thursday at NASCARs annual media tour event. We have to make things happen. We need to be in the Chase. We need to be a part of the chaos at the end of the year.Dillon had just one top-five and four top-10 finishes in his first season at the Sprint Cup level driving one of NASCARs most recognizable cars.That lack of production kept him out of the Chases new playoff-style format implemented in 2014.That is what this year is about — stepping out and going after it, more so than (last) year, Dillon said. I think people know how we approached last year — and we did it right — but now its time to make fire.The 24-year-old Dillon went about getting a jump start on his goal of making the Chase when he had a sit-down meeting with crew chief Gil Martin after last season.The goal was to create a blueprint for success.Ultimately, Dillon said they discussed his need to come to the track better prepared on race weekend.I know it takes more than what I gave it last year, Dillon said. The good thing is we had a decent year last year and when you know what those are, you should be able to take those and make them better.The seecond season in the same automobile seems to work for him.ddddddddddddDillon won the Camping World Truck Series championship in 2011, his second full season racing trucks. He moved up the then-Nationwide Series the following year and won the championship a year later in 2013.It would be a long-shot for him to do the same at the Sprint Cup level, given the inherent pressure and competition.Dillon admits that racing the Intimidators black No. 3 Chevy involved a lot of pressure that came with high expectations. But hes not about to back down.I want to put more pressure on myself, Dillon said.Dillon said one of the goals this year to be stronger — and more aggressive — on restarts.We have to push ourselves more and make things happen, Dillon said.Dillons talent is indisputable.Hes won Rookie of the Year awards at the K&N Series East, the Camping World Truck Series and Nationwide Series.But hes come to realize it will take more than just reputation to win at the Sprint Cup level.You cant rely on talent, because everyone at that level has talent, Dillon said. Some people can rely on talent and that is unbelievable. But it is going to take more for me to get prepared better and be ready when I get to the track to make it happen.The Chase is his goal, he said.Its amazing, Dillon said. I enjoyed it and I want to be a part it. Its really going to push us this year.
