KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Manager Ned Yost was unsure what to expect from his starting pitcher.Jarrod Dyson had two hits, scored a run and stole a base in Jason Vargas first start in 14 months, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Saturday night to snap a five-game losing streak.Vargas, who was making his first start in 423 days after having Tommy John surgery on August 5, 2015, gave up a first-inning run on Melky Cabreras RBI single, but retired eight of the last nine batters he faced.He was a little better than I expected, Yost said. Its been 14 months since hes been on a major league mound and his first big league start since coming off Tommy John. I dont know how you have expectations on anything like that. You just want to go out, feel good and get through it and come off of it healthy, on a good note. I think we accomplished all those things tonight.Vargas said his stuff was very similar to his six minor league rehab starts.There were a couple of times where I got behind in some counts, (but) I think thats just part of being back out there, Vargas said. I felt pretty good about where I was able to throw the ball and how it went.Vargas was pulled after 52 pitches and three innings. Dillon Gee (7-8) replaced Vargas and held the White Sox to one run and five hits over 4 1/3 innings.Today is about Vargy coming back from TJ (Tommy John surgery), Gee said. Thats a big deal for him to come back and get a start again and come back healthy from that surgery. He did a great job. I just wanted to come in and hold it there.Dyson, who is 10 for 15 off White Sox starter Miguel Gonzalez (4-7), singled to lead off the first, advanced to second on Whit Merrifields bunt single, stole second and scored on Kendrys Morales sacrifice fly.Dyson, who extended his hitting streak to 10 games, also singled in the Royals two-run fifth. Hunter Dozier, who was making his second major league start, and Eric Hosmer delivered run-producing singles in the inning, which Alcides Escobar opened with a triple.He got in a bind there, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Gonzalezs fifth inning. I thought he got out of some trouble. It could have been worse. I thought he pitched his way out of it and they ended up getting two.Avisail Garcias double, which struck the third base bag, scored Jose Abreu in the eighth for the final White Sox run. The White Sox went 2 for 9 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight runners.We had opportunities, Ventura said. We hit the ball pretty good, got some guys on base, just couldnt cash them in.Wade Davis worked a flawless ninth for his 25th save in 28 chances.MILESTONE REACHEDYost picked up his 1,000th career victory as a manager. He is the 62nd manager in big league history to reach that total. Youre 62 years old. I dont want to go home and drop dead of a heart attack at 999, Yost said and laughed. Id like to at least try to get to a thousand and then I can go any time after that.WANG OUTThe Royals designated RHP Chien-Ming Wang, who went 6-0 with a 4.22 ERA in 32 bullpen outings, for assignment. Wang won 19 games in back-to-back seasons, 2006-07 with the Yankees, before injuries derailed his career.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: DH Justin Morneau has not played since Monday, when he hurt his neck swinging against the Indians. Old man neck, Morneau said. I just have to be patient with it. Morneau said if his neck keeps improving he would take some swings Sunday and maybe available Monday would be great. ... IF Tyler Saladino did not play after injuring his left calf Friday. Just a little tweak, so hes getting treatment, Ventura said.UP NEXTWhite Sox: LHP Jose Quintana is 0-2 with a 3.32 ERA in three starts against the Royals this season.Royals: LHP Danny Duffy is 0-1 with three no-decisions since an Aug. 21 victory over Minnesota.Wholesale Air Max 90 White .

Guys played table tennis and cards in the middle of a bustling locker room. Most of the hard feelings that followed Bradleys dismissal Sunday were gone two days later.There was still a little lingering angst, most of it regarding how the Jaguars (2-12) handled the news. Several players said Tuesday they learned of Bradleys firing from social media while sitting on a bus and waiting to be shuttled to the airport in Houston.It was very surprising, veteran linebacker Paul Posluszny said.It wasnt what many of them expected from owner Shad Khan and general manager Dave Caldwell. Khan and Caldwell decided late last week that Bradley would be let go regardless of the outcome against the Texans. Since the Los Angeles Rams had already fired Jeff Fisher, Khan and Caldwell didnt want to fall behind in the coaching search and didnt want to start the interview process with Bradley still employed and in the building.Since Khan was in London that day, Caldwell delivered the news to Bradley following the 21-20 loss. Bradley then rode the team charter back to Jacksonville, an awkward flight in which the fired coach tried to say thanks to as many players, assistants and staff as possible.I dont think that was the right way to do it, defensive tackle SenDerrick Marks said. He had to ride the plane home back that way, but that aint my call. They did it. They made the move. Gus was very cordial about it. Spoke with everybody. Came through the plane shaking hands and just talking with people. Gus has always been a great person in that aspect, but I dont think we as players were in the mood or were ready to actually see that at that moment.Days later, they were ready to move on.Guyys were ready to go to work, defensive tackle Malik Jackson said.dddddddddddd This has been a lot of talk for a while now. ... Gus got fired. The train doesnt stop for anybody. Weve got to keep rolling and go out here and win some games or Khans going to fire one of us, too.Interim coach Doug Marrone tweaked some parts of practice and meetings, but otherwise kept everything status quo for a team that has lost nine consecutive games.You dont want to really change a lot at this time of year, Marrone said. That may shock them and throw them off for what they have to do.Jacksonville hosts Tennessee (8-6) on Saturday.Marrone held a meeting with several team leaders Monday, a chance for players to understand how the former Buffalo Bills coach wants to handle things during the final two weeks of the season.It also made for a smoother transition heading into Marrones first team meeting Tuesday.I did not see a team that felt sorry for themselves even though we understand we are all part of this wreck, Marrone said.The Jaguars went 14-48 during Bradleys tenure, the worst winning percentage of any NFL coach with at least 60 games. Players figured Bradleys run was coming to an end since Jacksonville fell well short of expectations in 2016.Now, players are left wondering who the next coach will be and what it means for their futures.I want to play these last two games as hard as I can, knowing that I may not have a future here, Posluszny said. You take it one game at a time and say, `Im going to devote everything that I can to these last two games because this might be the last opportunity I get.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
