KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Hector Santiago shut down the Royals punchless offence for a career-best eight innings, and the Chicago White Sox roughed up Kansas City starter Jeremy Guthrie in a 9-1 rout Friday night. Dayan Viciedo hit a three-run homer and Alejandro de Aza added a two-run shot for the White Sox, who snapped a three-game skid with their best offensive output in nearly two weeks. They scored twice in the first inning and five times in the third, when they chased Guthrie (7-5) from the game. De Azas homer came off reliever Bruce Chen in the sixth. Most of that offence turned out to be moot the way Santiago (3-5) was pitching. The left-hander gave up just three hits and a walk, and Eric Hosmers homer in the sixth represented the only run Santiago has allowed to the Royals in 19 1-3 career innings. The replacement for injured starter Gavin Floyd, Santiago delivered easily his best performance since going seven scoreless innings May 7 against the New York Mets. It also helped the White Sox get back on a winning track after losing 17 of 22 and dropping a season-high 12 games below .500. It surely helped Santiagos confidence that the White Sox staked him to an early lead. On a warm, windy night at Kauffman Stadium, Guthrie walked three of the first five batters he faced, and the bases-loaded free pass that he issued to Paul Konerko brought in the games first run. Conor Gillaspie added a sacrifice fly later in the first inning to give Chicago a 2-0 lead. The real trouble for Guthrie came in the third, when Alexei Ramirez led off with a single and Alex Rios doubled over the head of Alex Gordon in left field. Adam Dunns single drove in another run, and Gillaspies single knocked Guthrie from the game. Viciedo greeted Chen with a three-run shot to give the White Sox a 7-0 lead. Guthrie wound up allowing six runs on five hits and three walks in 2 1-3 innings, his shortest start since going the same distance for the Orioles on July 7, 2009. It was his second straight shaky outing, too -- he allowed five runs over seven innings Saturday night at Tampa Bay. All the more puzzling is that Guthrie had been having success against the White Sox. Since joining the Royals last year, the right-hander had been 3-0 in six starts against their AL Central rivals, giving up just two earned runs in 44 2-3 innings. Guthrie had given up that many Friday night before escaping the first inning. De Azas two-run homer in the sixth made it 9-0, the most runs that the Royals stingy pitching staff had allowed since an 11-6 loss to the New York Yankees on May 10. It was also the most runs the White Sox had scored since beating Toronto 10-6 on June 10. Tyler Flowers was the only member of the White Sox starting lineup without a hit.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson shrugged off chants of Heisman! Heisman! from Cardinals fans and seemed satisfied knowing he had played a role in one of the programs biggest wins.A very big role worthy of all the adulation.Jackson ran for four touchdowns and threw for another as No. 10 Louisville poured it on for a 63-20 victory on Saturday, the most points ever allowed by Florida State.His performance helped Cardinals establish themselves as a title contender in the Atlantic Coast Conference -- and the national crown -- by dismantling the second-ranked Seminoles in one of the worst defeats in FSU history.What was billed as an ACC showdown quickly turned into a rout. And after blowing second-half leads against Florida State the past two years, Louisville kept the pressure on.Jackson ran for 146 yards and four TDs and passed for 216 yards and a score to lead the Cardinals (3-0, 2-0 ACC).The quarterbacks performance raised his season TD total to 18 and drew high praise from none other than NFL free agent Michael Vick, a dual-threat QB himself not long ago at Virginia Tech.Vick tweeted, Lamar Jackson 5x better than what I was at V-Tech....Enough said!! (hash)futureJackson was flattered but took it in stride, I guess its just helping us win, you know? I dont really look at that.Louisville coach Bobby Petrino talked about his quarterbacks poise.Im just proud of how he prepared for the game, how he was able to stay calm, he said. He was able to focus and concentrate.Jackson wasnt the only star in Louisvilles domination.Louisvilles defense chipped in with five sacks. The Cardinals also held FSU (2-1, 0-1) to 284 yards and forced two turnovers. The Seminoles only bright spot was 10 straight points to get within 14-10 before Jackson took over.Florida State scored another 10 points late and avoided its worst loss ever.Give credit to Louisville, they did a great job, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. You dont play with fire and let teams get ahead of you.Jaire Alexander contributed two 60-yard punt returns -- including a 69-yarder for a TD -- and a fumble recovery leading to another Louisville score. Brandon Radcliff rushed for 118 yards and a score and Jeremy Smith ran for two TDs.Jackson added to his collection of highlights as he faked one defender and spun off another en route to his final TD run of 47 yards. It followed hhis interception on the previous series, one sign that he is human.dddddddddddd.I told my team I owed them four touchdowns, he said. I was like, Im determined to score right here.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida State: The Seminoles seemed out of synch on both sides of the ball but especially defensively, possibly due to the absence of injured defensive back Derwin James . Without him available as a spy, FSU appeared helpless in its efforts to contain Jackson. Dalvin Cook wasnt a factor in rushing for 54 yards on 16 carries.Louisville: The Cardinals seized their moment on the national stage by stepping on the gas instead of wilting in the second half. With so many players stepping up to help Jackson is an encouraging sign as Louisville looks to keep opponents from keying on him.CONCENTRATIONA pause followed Florida States Tarvarus McFaddens apparent breakup of a right sideline pass for James Quick. But the Cardinals senior stayed with the ball, controlling it between his knees and running 44 yards to FSUs 2 to set up a Jackson 1-yard TD run. When I looked down I saw the ball and said I gotta run, Quick said.ALI TRIBUTELouisville paid tribute to late heavyweight champion and hometown hero Muhammad Ali. The Cardinals red chrome helmets featured a white butterfly sticker with Ali in the middle; The Greatests daughter, Laila, was ESPNs celebrity picker; and the school presented Alis family with a framed No. 75 jersey honoring his community service initiative.POLL IMPLICATIONSFlorida State: The Seminoles were never in the game after their first TD and will fall in the Top 25, the question is how far. They had hoped to establish themselves as division favorites and national contenders in the game.Louisville: This was a signature win for the program and now its just a matter of how far the Cardinals will jump in the Top 25 after positioning themselves to contend for a playoff spot.UP NEXT:Florida State: The Seminoles stay on the road and will visit South Florida, seeking redemption along with their third win in four meetings against the Bulls.Louisville: The Cardinals head east on I-64 to face Marshall, looking to end a four-game losing streak against the Thundering Herd.----AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
