Sporting Kansas City rises from Wizards to a thriving era
Davy Arnaud recalls near empty stands in 2007 at Arrowhead Stadium for a CONCACAF quarterfinal. Six years later Sporting Kansas City, rebranded from Kansas City Wizards, fills the $200 million Livestrong Sporting Park with near sellouts. The club posts 11 straight MLS unbeaten runs, signs All-Stars Omar Bravo and Matt Besler, and adds Brazilian Jeferson as a designated player. Debut looms against Newcastle United as KC’s home crowd soars from 10,287 to 18,107 in new venue.

Royals bullpen holds on as Peavy falters in KC loss
Royals manager Ozzie Guillen stacked with right handed hitters to attack lefty rookie. Duffy needed 64 pitches through three and 94 over six, allowing five hits two walks and six strikeouts in a blossoming start.

Carlos Quentin and Alex Rios hitters yielded Peavy two RBI singles in the first, Hosmer drove in a run with a second inning single, Treanor lined a bases loaded single in the sixth to put KC up 3-2, Cabrera added a seventh inning homer for insurance.
