BOSTON -- Danny Duffy figured his winning streak would end sometime.Its just the way it did that bothered him.Duffy was hit for three homers and seven runs in five innings as the Boston Red Sox ran away for an 8-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.I dont ever expect to go out there and really have it handed to me like I did tonight, Duffy said. I expect to keep my team in the game every time I go out. No, I dont ever expect to do something like that.Duffy (11-2) allowed nine hits with two walks and two strikeouts, halting a personal 10-game winning streak.Good stuff, but just had trouble putting it where he wanted to, Royals manager Ned Yost said. He was kind of wild in the zone a little bit.Salvador Perez hit two solo homers for the Royals, who lost for just the fourth time 20 games.Duffy had allowed two or fewer runs in five straight starts -- and six of seven -- before Boston took care of that string with two each in the first and second innings.I didnt make pitches when I needed to, he said. They were selling out on everything and I just didnt keep the ball down. But I expect better than that. I expect better than that every time.Bostons Dustin Pedroia had four hits to extend his streak to 11 straight at-bats before bouncing into a double play with a chance to tie the major-league record.Pedroias streak, which stretched over three games, ended in the eighth inning. The big league mark of hits in 12 straight official at-bats is shared by Walt Dropo for Detroit in 1952, Pinky Higgins of the Red Sox in 1938 and Johnny Kling of the Cubs in 1902.Xander Bogaerts homered and drove in three runs, and Mookie Betts and Hanley Ramirez hit consecutive homers for the Red Sox, who snapped a three-game losing streak with its 11th win in 16 games.David Price (13-8) won his fourth straight start, giving up two runs in six innings to lower his ERA to 3.97, the lowest its been since after his first start of the season.Two batters in, the Red Sox jumped ahead 2-0 on Bogaerts 16th homer, a drive that completely left Fenway Park over the Green Monster after Pedroia singled.In the bottom of the second after the Royals had tied it, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Pedroia had consecutive RBI doubles, pushing Boston in front 4-2.Perez homered and Alcides Escobar had an RBI double in the top of the inning.Pedroia got his 10th consecutive hit with a run-scoring single to make it 5-2 in the fourth. His 11th was a ground single to center in the sixth. He then bounced in the double play in the eighth.Betts hit his 29th, a solo shot, in the fifth and Ramirez followed with his two pitches later to nearly the same spot, two rows into the Monster seats about three fans apart. After watching Ramirezs drive land in the seats, Duffy just smiled in disbelief as he waited for a new ball from home plate umpire Adrian Johnson.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Wade Davis (flexor strain), LHP Jason Vargas (recovering from Tommy John surgery) and RHP Kris Medlen (right rotator cuff inflammation) all pitched for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.Red Sox: Manager John Farrell said RHP Koji Uehara (strained chest muscle) threw 53 pitches with good intensity in a bullpen session on Friday and hes expected to throw again Monday. ... C Ryan Hanigan (left ankle tendinitis) started a rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Saturday.YES, 2KDavid Ortiz played his 2,000 game as a DH (1721 for Boston, 279 Minnesota), most ever in the big leagues.

NEWPORT, Wales -- Sir Bradley Wiggins has backed Chris Froome to emulate his achievement and add Olympic gold to his historic Tour de France title.Wiggins became one of the stars of London 2012 when he won gold in the mens time trial, just 10 days after becoming the first Briton to triumph in the Tour, cyclings most prestigious road race.Froome, who won time trial bronze in London, crossed the finish line in Paris last Sunday to seal a British-record third Tour de France title. He next flies to Rio with a chance to better Wiggins haul as he competes in the mens road race and time trial.With the road race just a day after the opening ceremony on August 5, Wiggins revealed the tight turnaround and change in timezones will make for challenging conditions for Froome, but he backed his compatriot to handle the pressure.Its probably harder for him this time, having to travel out to a completely different continent, Wiggins said at a Team GB press conference. We came back home, so its probably more challenging for Chris.He can do it, definitely. TThe way he won the Tour, theres no question of whether that forms going to go anywhere over two weeks.dddddddddddd Without a doubt, if anyone can do it, he can.Wiggins will be in Rio as part of Team GBs track efforts, leading the charge in the mens team pursuit, and the 36-year-old revealed the transition from Grand Tour to Olympic racing is unlikely to faze Froome.I didnt find it that difficult, Wiggins said of the switch. Youre in the zone, going through the motions of road racing. That [2012] Tour in particular, I got stronger in the third week and won that last time trial.I knew that, because I won that last time trial by a minute and a half, all I had to do was keep my head on and do the same performance. From the power I had that day, I knew nothing was going to change in 10 days.There werent too many challenges for me to overcome, other than I couldnt get down my lane when I went home for a couple of days.
