wide receiver Donte Moncrief back to face the Chief

BALTIMORE -- For five innings, Dylan Bundy showed why the Baltimore Orioles have long considered him to be their top pitching prospect.Although things came apart in the sixth inning of a 3-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night, the Orioles took consolation in knowing the right-hander added another significant step in his development as a big leaguer.Bundy (3-3) retired the first 16 batters before issuing a walk to Mark Reynolds. That brought another former Oriole to the plate, Nick Hundley, who launched a 1-2 pitch into the left-field seats for a 2-0 lead.Two batters later, David Dahl chased Bundy with his first major league home run.Just two mistakes, changeups that were up in the zone and they were able to tag them for homers, the 23-year-old Bundy said. Maybe just a little more focus or location a little bit better in the sixth inning and you get out of that with six innings pitched and no harm done.Making his third major league start, Bundy went deeper into a game than ever before and notched a career-high eight strikeouts.Dylan was really good, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. Got to get into another inning that he hadnt been into, got to throw a couple more pitches than hed thrown.Unfortunately for the Orioles, Colorado rookie right-hander Jon Gray (7-4) was even better, allowing only one run and five hits over seven innings.We knew coming in that he was good, Showalter said of Gray. He pounded the ball, a lot on the inner half.After Manny Machado hit his 21st homer in the sixth, Baltimore didnt get another runner into scoring position.Adam Ottavino and Boone Logan worked the eighth for the Rockies and Carlos Estevez got three straight outs for his 10th save, tops among major league rookies.The AL East-leading Orioles fell to 37-16 at home after dropping successive games at Camden Yards for the first time since May 30-31.Early in the game, Baltimore missed two opportunities to jump on top.After the Orioles loaded the bases with one out in the fourth, Gray retired major league home run leader Mark Trumbo on a popup before Jonathan Schoop hit a fly ball to center.Baltimore also wasted a leadoff double by Matt Wieters in the fifth.STREAK BREAKEROrioles slugger Chris Davis snapped an 0-for-24 skid with a bunt down the third-base line against the shift. He also walked and struck out twice.Its there to him, Showalter said of the bunt. We talked to him about it. Its one thing to do it. Its another thing to execute it. Its not easy when a guys throwing 96, 97, to step up there and bunt a ball over there.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: Hyun Soo Kim was back in the lineup for the second consecutive game after being activated from the DL on Tuesday.

Frank Howard Jersey .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. Kirk Gibson Jersey . How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif.The Kansas City Chiefs have never cared much for road trips to Indianapolis like the one theyll take Sunday to face the Colts.As a visitor, Kansas City stands 1-6 in regular and postseason games played in Indy. The Chiefs lost games there in the 2006 and 2013 playoffs.Its that last loss in January 2014 that left a very deep bruise on the Chiefs psyche. Kansas City led by 28 points with 28 minutes to play, but Colts quarterback Andrew Luck led one of the biggest comebacks in NFL postseason history and Indy grabbed a 45-44 victory.That was the last time these teams met each other and typical of the not-for-long NFL, only a handful of players who appeared in that game with a chance to play Sunday: 17 in all, led by the teams starting quarterbacks Luck and Kansas Citys Alex Smith.I obviously remember the outcome and being pretty disappointed, said Smith, who threw for 378 yards and four touchdowns in that game. It was a long time ago, though. When you start thinking about it, one year is a long time in the NFL, let alone a couple of years. A lot has changed since then, so its hard to even look at that tape.Turns out its not even a subject that has been broached by coach Chuck Pagano to his 2016 Colts.Every year is different, every team is different, Pagano said. Theres a lot of turnover in this league. Theyre great for memories, but they dont really have any significance on anything other than again playing it one play at a time.The 4-2 Chiefs come into the meeting on a two-game winning streak after beating Oakland and New Orleans. The offense and defense have been inconsistent for coach Andy Reid, but when theyve been on their game, they can compete with any team in the league.The focus for me is on the Chiefs defense this year and its really good group that leads the way in takeaways, Luck said. (Marcus) Peters is a premier corner in this league; hes leading the league in interceptions and its aa very opportunistic defense and we have to be on our ps and qs.ddddddddddddThe Chiefs are looking for consistency across the board in the journey to their goals. They found that last year when they finished the regular season with 10 straight victories.You have to be disciplined about how you go about your business and the details, Smith said, especially when you get to the meat of the season. You need to have the sense of urgency to stay short-sighted and not look too far down the line. Sometimes its tedious, but its making sure you get all of those things done.The Colts are 3-4 and coming off a victory last Sunday over Tennessee. Luck has thrown the ball well, despite being sacked a league-high 25 times. Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton ranks among the NFLs best catchers with 45 recepetions for 689 yards and four touchdowns. Veteran running back Frank Gore remains productive at 33 years old and is tied for ninth in the league with 495 rushing yards on 117 carries.Hes a warrior, that one, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Gore. Hes a tough guy, a physical runner and to last as long as he has is a tribute, probably, to his offseason work program and how he goes about the game. Hes a kid that loves to play and hes kept himself in good shape.Indianapolis hopes to have wide receiver Donte Moncrief back to face the Chiefs. He has missed the last five games with a shoulder injury. Moncrief returned to practice this week.But it is Luck that makes the Colts go.Hes playing well ... making great decisions, Pagano said. Hes taking what the defense is giving him. Hes spreading the ball around, hitting the check-downs, extending plays when he has to extend plays and finding guys down the field. He is preparing extremely well like he always has. He is playing at a high level right now. ' ' '
