KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- There was no easing Wade Davis back into the Kansas City Royals closer+ role.Davis gave up a go-ahead two-run single in the ninth inning to Miguel Cabrera, and the Kansas City Royals lost 7-6 to the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.Davis had not pitched in the majors since July 22 because of a right flexor strain. He pitched three scoreless innings over three games on a rehab assignment before being reinstated from the disabled list earlier in the day.In his return, Davis was asked to safeguard a one-run lead after Paulo Orlandos two-run, two-out single in the eighth put the Royals ahead 6-5.Wade said (before the game), `Im ready to close, Royals manager Ned Yost said. You look at his rehab and he threw the ball well there. He was ready. It wasnt like he spent three weeks on the DL and didnt do his rehab stuff. He did all his rehab stuff, threw the ball well and was ready to go.Daviss first pitch hit Ian Kinsler, who stopped at third on Jose Iglesias single before Cabrera -- who homered among his three hits and had four RBI -- drove them both in.World Series champion Kansas City has three consecutive one-run losses after winning 18 of its previous 22 games.Cabrera hit a 439-foot shot, his 29th homer, off Peter Moylan in the seventh, and also had an RBI single in Detroits three-run third. Justin Upton homered in the second and added an RBI single in the third.Francisco Rodriguez (3-3) picked up the victory, despite blowing a save in the eighth on Orlandos single.Orlando thought the Royals were going to win after his big hit.Oh yeah, late in the game and you take the lead for the first time, but you play nine innings, Orlando said. Today was not to be.Orlando, who snapped an 0-for-17 skid with a single in the seventh, punched a single off Rodriguez to right, scoring Alcides Escobar and Jarrod Dyson.Obviously were happy we came out on the winning side, but what a great game to watch, just as a fan of baseball, with the back and forth, both teams scoring off of closers, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. It was good entertainment.Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez gave up three unearned runs and five hits over five innings.Cabreras fielding error opened the door for the Royals to score three runs in the third. Alex Gordon had a two-run single, while Kendrys Morales contributed a run-scoring single.Danny Duffy allowed four runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings and has allowed 18 hits and 11 runs over 10 2/3 innings in consecutive starts.I felt like I battled, Duffy said. We had a rough third inning there. They were kind of singling me to death. I did my best to try to keep my team in the game. Its kind of been a rough couple of games for us.Tigers left-hander Justin Wilson gave up a run on three singles to Orlando, Cheslor Cuthbert and Eric Hosmer in the seventh, the only three batters he faced.ROYALS PROMOTE FOURThe Royals purchased the contract of INF Hunter Dozier, a 2013 first-round pick who hit 23 HRs with 75 RBI this season with Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha.

PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson has been suspended for 10 games by the NFL for violating the leagues policy on performance-enhancing substances.Johnson will be eligible to return on Dec. 19. Its his second suspension. One more would cost Johnson two years. Johnson appealed the positive test, but an arbiter upheld the ruling.We are disappointed with arbitrator James Carters summary ruling, Johnsons attorney, Steve Zashin, said in a statement Tuesday. We will wait for his formal written opinion. After we review that decision, we will consider all available legal options.In January, Johnson signed a 5-year, $56 million contract that included a $10 million signing bonus and $35.5 million guaranteed. His base salary for this season is $675,000, so he has to forfeit $421,875. The suspension also nullifies his guaranteed money.Eagles executive Howie Rosemaan said the team is very disappointed in Johnson but will welcome him back in December.ddddddddddddis actions have affected the entire organization, Roseman said. We are all working under a clearly defined set of rules and regulations set forth by the NFL in the collective bargaining agreement with the NFLPA.The Eagles (3-1) visit Washington (3-2) on Sunday.Rookie Halapoulavaati Vaita will get an opportunity to replace Johnson in practice this week.
