MIAMI -- The ball kept falling the Royals way during their nine-game winning streak, and that changed in the ninth inning Wednesday.When Alcides Escobar pulled a liner toward the hole on the left side of the infield, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria made a spectacular leaping, backhanded catch. The play short-circuited a comeback bid by the Royals, who lost to the Miami Marlins 3-0.That changed the game, Escobar said. I hit that ball really good. When I saw it, I said, `Oh! Thats a great play.Hechavarrias catch came after a leadoff single by Alex Gordon. Kansas City went on to load the bases against Fernando Rodney before he retired Christian Colon for his 25th save and eighth for Miami.That ended the Royals longest winning streak since June 2014.Miamis Jose Fernandez pitched seven innings and shook off calf cramps.

He had a really, really good slider and went to it when he got in trouble.Dillon Gee (5-7) allowed only two of the first 18 batters to reach -- and both times it was Fernandez. He had an infield single in the third and another single in the sixth.He can swing the bat a little bit, Gee said. The second one might have been the hardest hit I gave up all night. I wasnt overpowering by any means, but I felt like I threw the ball fairly well.The Royals relievers extended their franchise-record scoreless streak to 34 2/3 innings.The bullpens doing fine, Yost said.
