<p>The Royals took the Indians to ten innings before they hit a home run to lead off the 10th ending the game.</p>
<p>They've now lost four of five games and two series in a row.</p>

<p><b>Chiefs getting back to work</b></p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/">Kansas City Chiefs</a> are getting back to work on Sunday afternoon. They had the day off on Saturday after Friday night's 20-17 preseason loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/">Philadelphia Eagles</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://kansascity.sbnation.com/2010/8/27/1655068/cameron-sheffield-injury">only big injury to come out of the game</a> was to LB <span>Cameron Sheffield</span>, whose condition is better after suffering a neck injury. That's two straight weeks the Chiefs have had a player carted off with a neck/head injury.</p>
<p>The Chiefs have a short week playing Green Bay on Thursday. That means they'll have about 11 days before the season opener against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/san-diego-chargers">Chargers</a> on Monday Night Football Sept. 13.</p>

<p><b>Derrick Washington situation continues on</b></p>
<p>Mizzou RB Derrick Washington has yet to be charged in allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman in June.</p>
<p>The timing of Washington's suspension -- it happened last week -- <a href="http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/2010/aug/29/alden/">suggests that there was a recent development </a>causing Gary Pinkel to suspend him.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>[A] source close to the alleged victim told the Tribune that the prosecutor’s office recently gave Washington the choice to plead to a lesser charge or go to trial for the felony charge. That development is a possible explanation for why Pinkel suspended Washington on Thursday.</p>
