THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Bernhard Langer withdrew from the PGA Tour Champions playoff opener Friday because of a left knee injury.The 59-year-old German star pulled out before teeing off at Sherwood Country Club in the PowerShares QQQ Championship. He re-aggravated the injury at home doing routine spinning, had an MRI on Monday and wasnt able to play a practice round.Langer leads the 50-and-over tour with four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,697,459. He tops the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs standings, and has a big enough advantage over second-place Miguel Angel Jimenez that he will keep the No. 1 spot without playing this week.The top 72 players on the money list earned spots at Sherwood. The playoff field will be cut to 54 for the Dominion Charity Classic next week in Richmond, Virginia, and to 36 for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship the follow week in Scottsdale, Arizona.Each dollar earned in the first two events is worth two points and will be added to the regular-season total. At the Charles Schwab Championship, points will be reset so that the top five only have to win to capture the Charles Schwab Cup.

DeForest Buckner Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. BOSTON -- The second contest of the three-game series between the Boston Red Sox and the Kansas City Royals on Saturday at Fenway park features two of the hottest pitchers in baseball.Royals left-hander Danny Duffy, who has won 10 straight decisions, faces Boston southpaw David Price, who has won his past three starts.Duffy is one win shy of tying Kansas Citys record for consecutive wins held by Rich Gale (1980) and Paul Splittorff (1977-78). He has emerged as a true ace with a record of 11-1 and a league-leading 2.66 ERA this season after starting the season in the bullpen. Duffy made 14 relief appearances before his first start May 15.Duffys latest masterpiece was a 2-1 victory against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. He allowed one run on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. Now he has to face the best offense in baseball as the Red Sox lead the majors in runs scored and just about every major offensive category.Youre playing against some of the best players in the world and Bostons offense is no pushover, Royals manager Ned Yost said after a 6-3 victory in the series opener Friday. But Dannys been throwing the ball extremely well. We have a lot of confidence in Danny and Danny has a lot of confidence in himself. So it should be a fun matchup.The Royals have won 11 of their past 12 and 16 of their past 19 games to pull within three of the Baltimore Orioles for the second wild card in the American League.The Red Sox have lost three in a row and trail the Toronto Blue Jays by one game for first place in the American League East. Thats why the Red Sox need Price to contiinue to pitch like he has in a few of his recent starts.ddddddddddddThe left-hander has been among the leaders in hits allowed all season and is 12-8 with a 4.00 ERA. But he has also been among the American League leaders in strikeouts. He has allowed one run in his past 14 innings over two starts and the last time he took the mound, he shut out the Tampa Bay Rays on two hits over eight innings Monday.He leads the majors with nine starts of at least eight innings.To get that number of innings, youre keeping your club in the game, giving your club a chance to win, pitching coach Carl Willis told the Boston Globe. I know a lot of the numbers arent where he wants them to be, but those (innings) speak to what kind of pitcher he is.Duffy hasnt been the only hot Royals pitcher of late. Although they allowed a ninth-inning run Friday, the Royals bullpen had a streak of 41 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball -- a franchise record.Theyve done a great job, they really have, Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said after Fridays victory. Especially on a night like tonight to come in there in the sixth, seventh inning and shut the door like they did was huge for us. I think we all like that that streak ended because it was a win and they got rid of the streak, so we dont got to worry about that anymore.Theyve been the backbone of our team, thats whats been the strength of our team. We try to do whatever we can to get leads and hand them off to them. ' ' '
