K.C. blanks Indians, 7-0

? Once the calendar turns to September, Kyle Davies turns into an ace.

The right-hander carried a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and won his fourth straight start, pitching the Kansas City Royals to a 7-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.

Davies (8-9) held the Indians hitless until Shin-Soo Choo’s leadoff single to center in the sixth. He walked six and struck out three over six innings in his second straight wild start. He walked six and gave up five hits and one run over five innings in a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday.

“He had a very good changeup,” Choo said. “And he threw enough strikes to get big outs. I hit a curve, but he was pretty good.”

Davies is 3-0 in September. A year ago, he went 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA after Sept. 1. But he struggled early this season and was sent back to the minors after going 1-6 in seven starts between May 16 and June 19 that dropped his record to 3-7.

“I know I can win in September,” he said. “Right now, it’s like I am going to do it — not, are you going to?”
