Royals and Pirates win on opening day.

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Tony Pena Jr. gets a two-out, tiebreaking single in the 11th inning and then Royals closer Joakim Soria got out of the jam and earned the save by striking out Edgar Renteria and getting help from third baseman Alex Gordon, who snared Placido Polanco’s grounder in the hole and threw him out.

The Pirates also went into extra innings before posting their win over the Braves.

Xavier Nady hit his second homer of the game, a three-run shot in the 12th inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates overcame a horrific ninth and another potential collapse for a 12-11 win Monday night, ruining Atlanta’s home opener.

Just another sign that the Apocalypse is near.

Both teams should enjoy the wins while they can. Because the wins will be few and far between during the season. Even the sun shines on a dogs rear end every now and then.
