WARRENSBURG, Mo. – From catered dinners to laundry service to afternoon Bingo, these are the services Prince Gilbert Revelle said make his home fit for a king.

“I’d like to see every veteran that served in the service who was honorably discharged to be able to come in here,” said Prince, a Navy Seaman First Class.

The 85-year-old WWII and Korean War veteran, who prefers his nickname Bud, moved to the Missouri Veterans Home in Warrensburg seven years ago when he became too feeble to live on his own.

“They gave that part of their lives to protect us and be in the service,” said Bud.  “To me it’s a pay back.  I think we deserve this treatment we’re getting.  It’s good.”

But Bud’s home and the six others like it in Missouri faced severe cutbacks due to $30 million in budget cuts over the last three years.

ARLINGTON, Tex. — The two-time defending American League champion Texas Rangers were upset 3-1 at the hands of the Kansas City Royals on Monday night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Royals left-hander Bruce Chen (2-4, 4.34 ERA) was electric, surrendering one run on five hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out seven and walking one.

The Rangers (23-13, 10-7 home) got on the board first with a solo home run from right fielder Nelson Cruz in the fourth inning. The Royals (14-20, 10-7 away) didn’t take long to answer. In the fifth, second baseman Alcides Escobar hit a go-ahead two-run RBI single to give Kansas City a 2-1 lead.

Closer Jonathan Broxton (1.32 ERA) fanned two in the ninth to record his eighth save.

CHICAGO — What started as a pitchers’ duel later turned ugly when the Kansas City Royals added a ton of insurance runs in the ninth to crush the Chicago White Sox 9-1 on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field.

Sunday’s rubber-match victory marked the second straight series win for the Royals.

The White Sox (16-19, 6-11 home) led 1-0 until a go-ahead two-run RBI double by second baseman Johnny Giavotella gave the Royals a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning. Right fielder Jeff Francoeur crushed his first home run of the season to give the Royals (13-20, 9-7 away) a 3-1 lead in the eighth.

In the ninth, the White Sox bullpen fell apart. The Royals unleashed a season-high six-run inning at the expense of reliever Addison Reed (5.23 ERA), who gave up six runs on two hits, walked three and struck out one.
