Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Royals put on an impressive offensive display Sunday at Coors Field, pounding out 21 hits and beating the Rockies 16-8 in the finale of a three-game interleague series. Melky Cabrera led the attack, going 4-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI while Eric Hosmer went 4-for-6 with a three-run homer and four RBI.

 

Blake Wood (4-0) worked 1 2/3 innings in relief of Luke Hochevar to earn the win

 

Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a career-high six RBI while Mark Ellis added a two-run home run for the Rockies, who have lost three of their past five and six of their past nine.

 

Detroit chose to promote from within, naming former bullpen coach Jeff Jones as Knapp's replacement.

 

Jones, who pitched with Oakland from 1980-84, has manned the Tigers' bullpen since November 9, 2006.

 

Selected as one of the National League starters for the July 12 All-Star Game, Reyes may be in the lineup as soon as Tuesday in Los Angeles.

 

The 28-year-old Dominican is enjoying a monster season thus far, leading the majors with a .354 average, 123 hits and 15 triples, while posting an NL-best 65 runs scored in 79 games.

 

Blake will receive a second cortisone injection for his ailing neck, according to MLB.com. He has hit .243 with four homers in 44 games this season.

 

It also made Ervin Santana (4-8) a winner for the first time in more than a month. His last victory came on May 25, and the right-hander had dropped his last four decisions, primarily because of lack of run support -- Santana didn't give up more than four runs in any of those losses.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
