BRISTOL, Tenn. Chipper Jones Jersey . -- Kasey Kahne was fed up with all of Joe Gibbs Racing by the time contact with Matt Kenseth ended his race at Watkins Glen earlier this month. It was the fourth time a JGR driver had wrecked Kahne, and he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure, posting: "Headed to Joe Gibbs Racing to talk to whoever will come out front." But when Kahne had his chance Saturday night to right all of those wrongs, he passed on retaliation. A clean racer to his core, he trailed Kenseth for a dozen laps around Bristol Motor Speedway, trying every which way possible to pass him without wrecking him and failing miserably. Kenseth ended up with his Sprint Cup-leading fifth win of the season, and Kahne settled for a disappointing second. "I dont know," sighed Kahne, winner of the spring race at Bristol. "I just ... I think at the end of the day, I just dont wreck people. I just didnt get it done and Im upset with myself for not figuring out how to win." Its the third time this season Kahne has finished second behind Kenseth, who wrapped up at least a wild-card berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. "Kaseys as good as they get and hes a clean driver," Kenseth said. "He raced as hard as he could, we ran out of room off (turn) four, we were both digging as hard as we could to try to get it. Kaseys just an unbelievable talent, he wanted it bad. We raced as hard as we could race and used every inch of race track." Kahne, meanwhile, is still hoping just to make it into the Chase. With two wins on the year hes in pretty good shape, but hes only eighth in the standings with two races remaining to set the 12-driver field. "I needed a win bad, but I also needed a finish," Kahne said. "I just basically ran as hard as I could, tried to pass him two different times and ran on his bumper and hoped hed screw up, and he really never did." After Kahne passed Juan Pablo Montoya for second, he set his sights on Kenseth and tried numerous times over the final dozen laps -- "It felt like 112," Kenseth said -- to make the pass, but never could make it stick. He went for the bump and run on the last lap and missed, and has to settle for second. "I had a better car. I just couldnt clear him," Kahne said. "There was a couple shots I took, and I had to have been close, but I could feel him on the right side of my car, and I just didnt clear him. I didnt figure out how to get by. Its disappointing not to win here. I thought we had the best car the last 200 laps, and it was a lot of work." Montoya, who learned two weeks ago he wont be brought back to Chip Ganassi Racing next season, was third. Although he could use a win, especially on an oval to prove he belongs in NASCAR, he said he was pleased with the result -- especially since he came back from an early speeding penalty. "To be honest with you, where we are with the team and the result, its pretty good," he said. "Im still running until the end of the year with (sponsor) Target, and I want to make sure I can do the best for them." Brian Vickers was fourth, followed by Joey Logano, Paul Menard and Jeff Gordon. Marcos Ambrose was eighth and Greg Biffle and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top 10. With two races remaining, at Atlanta and Richmond, to set the Chase field, only points leader Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer and Kenseth have locked up berths. The rest of the top 10 in points are Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Earnhardt, Kahne, Biffle and Logano. Defending series champion Brad Keselowski is 11th, four points out of 10th and not in Chase contention because hes winless so far on the season. Keselowski admitted hes not breathing easy the next two weeks. "If youre not in right now, I dont care if youre running eighth or youre running 13th, every team is worried and concerned -- not just mine," he said. "Im not going to be out of the worried zone unless I make it or its over. Thats my job as a race car driver. I care about my team. Weve got two races left. I think theyll be good race tracks for us." The two drivers currently in position for the wild-card berths are Ryan Newman and Martin Truex Jr., who maintained his position despite finishing 35th when he was collected in an accident that began on a restart when pole-sitter had his tire cut by contact with Vickers. Also caught in the accident was Harvick, who drove his battered car into Hamlins pit, and Hamlin responded by intentionally shoving it out of the way. An animated Harvick had to talk his way past a NASCAR official to get to Hamlins car window, where the two quickly came to a resolution. "He was under the impression that I caused it. He didnt see the replay," Hamlin said. "I talked to him. Luckily, we were able to talk right away and hash it out." It was a long and disappointing night for Kurt Busch, who started second in his effort to make the Chase for single-car team Furniture Row Racing. But a vibration dropped him from first to fifth, then sent him to pit road for a repair. He was then flagged for speeding, the pit stop was slow, and by the time he served his penalty for speeding he had dropped three laps to 39th place. Then he made contact with Josh Wise to cause damage to his car, sending him back to pit road. The original vibration wasnt fixed, and Busch had to go behind the wall for a length repair. He wound up 31st and dropped three spots in the standings to 12th. "When you are 20 laps down there is nothing you can do," he said. "We are not out. My thoughts all through the race were we just have to go to Atlanta and Richmond and win them both. We have two races to go and I heard we are only five points out of 10th." Josh Tomlin Jersey .

Ventura was almost the goat of Kansas Citys wild card win over Oakland, as he came out of the bullpen and promptly served up a go-ahead three-run homer to the As Brandon Moss. The Royals, though, took him and manager Ned Yost off the hook in that one with a thrilling 12-inning win. Weve got a lot of confidence in (Venturas) ability, Yost said. When you throw a 100-mph fastball and 95-mph two-seamer and 94-mph cutter and a nice curveball and nice changeup -- I think everybody has confidence in him. The 23-year-old flame-thrower, though, won five of his final six decisions in the regular season and ended his rookie campaign 14-10 with a 3.20 ERA. Ventura faced the Angels once this season -- a rain-shortened start in June in which he allowed two runs in four innings and took the loss. Everybody knows they do have a very potent lineup and a lot of guys out there that can hurt you, Ventura said. But I think my main concern is to know that I go out there and make some pitches. Making some pitches means Ive got to put it in good spots against very dangerous people. Kansas City continued to ride a wave of momentum on Thursday, as Mike Moustakas first home run in over a month propelled the Royals to a 3-2, 11- inning win in Game 1. Angels pitchers retired 16 straight hitters at one point, but the hosts wasted a bevy of scoring chances throughout, going 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and leaving eight on base. Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Howie Kendrick and Josh Hamilton combined to go 0-for-18 in the setback. We had some guys in scoring position, we just couldnt get that one hit, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. I think we swung the bats a little biit better than what the numbers are going to show. Custom Atlanta Braves Jerseys. We hit some balls hard and they made some terrific defensive plays. Their only runs came on solo shots from Chris Iannetta and David Freese in the third and fifth innings, respectively. The light-hitting Royals countered with a long ball of their own, as Moustakas got just enough of a Fernando Salas (0-1) offering to barely send it over the right-field wall for the first extra-inning home run in Royals history. Kansas City, of course, hit the fewest amount of home runs (95) of any team in the league this season. Greg Holland (1-0) set down the side in order in the bottom half to cap Kansas Citys second dramatic win in three days. Now the Angels will turn to rookie right-hander Matt Shoemaker, who has not pitched since Sept. 15 due to rib cage and chest injuries. Shoemaker won his final seven decisions and was 9-1 over his final 11 games with a 1.49 ERA. In all, Shoemaker made 20 starts, going 14-3 with a 2.89 ERA in those games. He also won twice in relief, and his 16 total victories set an Angels rookie record. Matt Shoemaker saved our season, Scioscia said. Hes got to be the story of the year for our team, and it might be the biggest surprise in the league. Matts been a guy who has always had to prove himself. Even this year he had to prove himself. But he got the opportunity and hes made the most of it. The news wasnt all good for the Royals on Thursday, as reliever Kelvin Herrera exited with a strained right forearm after walking the only batter he faced in the seventh inning. He will have an MRI on Friday. Los Angeles split six games with the Royals during the season with each team taking two of three in their ballpark. This is the first postseason meeting between the Angels and Royals, former division rivals in the American League West from 1969-93.
