Kansas City Royals catcher Miguel Olivo looks toward the infield after missing a tag at home plate during the seventh inning a baseball game against the Texas Rangers in Kansas City, Mo., Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008. The Rangers defeated the Royals 3-2. The Royals have lost ten of their last eleven games and 17 of 20, falling to a season-worst 21 games below .500.

A little luck and a little hustle was all the Texas Rangers needed to pull off their first three-game sweep this season. Jarrod Saltalamacchia scooted home when pitcher Brian Bannister flubbed a popup, giving Texas the go-ahead run in their 3-2 win over Kansas City on Wednesday night. "Give him 10 more of them and he won't drop them," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
