KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Kyle Busch continued his dominance of the Xfinity Series at Kansas Speedway on Saturday.Elliott Sadler and Daniel Suarez continued their chase for a title.Pulling double-duty this weekend, Busch led 150 of the 200 laps in a thoroughly dominant performance for his ninth series win of the season. It was also his third straight Xfinity win at Kansas, where he won in his Sprint Cup car for the first time this spring.There were a lot of things trying to work against us toward the end, but we just persevered, said Busch, who at one point was a lap down. We had great speed. I think we showed it all weekend. It was just a matter of putting it all together and ending up in victory lane, where we deserved to be.Sadler finished second and Suarez finished third to give the Chase contenders a nice start to the three-race round of eight, which now takes a two-week break before continuing at Texas.Everyone is starting off square, Sadler said, so youre trying to get a point here and get a point there. Now everybody will have different strategies as we go to Texas and Phoenix.Two more Sprint Cup regulars, Joey Logano and Kyle Larson, waged an entertaining duel to round out the top five. But it was some drama around them in the closing laps that shook up the title chase.Justin Allgaier and Darrell Wallace Jr. were involved in a late wreck, though Allgaiers partially destroyed car was able to finish a lap down in 14th. Wallace wound up 33rd and now has a massive deficit to make up the next two races if he wants to avoid elimination.Pretty hard hit. Just unfortunate, said Wallace, who was blinking away some pain when he took off his helmet. We were making some good calls and running our own race and thats part of it.I think we could have gotten a top-10 if we hit our restarts right, but just not our day.Nor was it Brendan Gaughans day. He went slip-sliding through the grass on the front stretch late in the race and wound up 31st -- though he did provide some comic relief when he sprinted from the infield care center back to his car in an attempt to squeeze a few more laps in before the finish.It wound up having no bearing on his result.Erik Jones also had a gripe after spending most of the day near the front. He was hit from behind by Larson on a late restart, sending him into Ty Dillon and causing enough damage to force a costly pit stop.Jones ended finishing 15th, fifth among the eight drivers competing for a championship.Its all my fault, Larson told his spotter after the impact.Blake Koch finished ninth in a strong start to the round for his championship hopes, while Ryan Reed dealt with a series of problems all afternoon and finished behind Allgaier and Jones in 16th.Now, theyll all be chasing Sadler and Suarez over the next two races.We had a great race. So proud of my team, Sadler said. We kept working on the car, working on the car, getting better and better. I just have to do a better job of out-running that 18 car.

DENVER -- Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu likely wont play in the final two games of the season as he clings to a minute lead over injured Daniel Murphy of the Washington Nationals for the National League batting title.LeMahieu sat out Wednesday and Thursday at San Francisco. He went 0-for-2 on Friday night in the Rockies 4-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers and left the game in the fourth inning with a .348 average, one point better than Murphy.Murphy has a strained buttocks and last played in the field on Sept. 17. His last appearance was as a pinch hitter on Sept. 20.Its a unique situation because Murphys injured, hes not playing, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. If hes playing, they could fight it out. I dont want DJ to lose a batting title that way (with Murphy not playing), so Im going to pay attention to the math. My philosophy, whether you like it or not, is Im going to take care of the guys who take care of our team. DJs one of those guys that takes care of our team.LeMahieu is 192-for-552 (.3478). Murphy is 184-for-530 (.3471). LeMahieu will only play in the final two games of the season if Murphy gets a pinch hit. One hit in his next at-bat would raise Murphys average to .3484.Im going to play when Skip wants me to play, LeMahieu said. I understand what hes doing. He sticks up for his players all the time. Its one of his best characteristics.LeMahieu finished with a .301 average last year when Weiss didnt play him on the final day of the season. It was the first time LeMahieu hit .300 in his career. He entered this season with a .284 lifetime average and is finishing a career year in bittersweet fashion.Its probably the least amount of fun Ive had all season -- this week, LeMahieu said. Part of me wants to be out there competing, doing what Ive been doing all year. The other part of me -- theres something really special out there, and Im going to let Walt take care of that.Jeff Hoffman will start Saturday for the Rockies, taking the place of Tyler Anderson. He was scratched because of a tired arm.Hoffman, who has never faced the Brewers, was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 20 and made five starts, the last on Sept. 14, and went 0-4 with a 6.04 ERA. He has lowered his ERA to 5.dddddddddddd47 with two two-inning relief appearances, the last on Tuesday at San Francisco.Hoffman threw 27 pitches in relief on Sept. 23 and Tuesday. Weiss said Hoffman may be a tad de-conditioned as far as starting, but the expectation is hell be able to work five innings or 75 pitches.Wily Peralta, who is 7-11 with a 5.10 ERA, will start for the Brewers. He took a 4-2 loss against Cincinnati in his last start on Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) in six innings.Peralta was Milwaukees Opening Day starter but was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on June 12 before returning to the Brewers rotation on Aug. 9. In nine starts since coming back to Milwaukee, Peralta is 3-4 with a 3.23 ERA.Brewers first baseman Chris Carter will continue his pursuit of Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado for the NL home run run title. Each player homered Friday, giving Arenado 41, one short of the career high he set last year, and Carter 40. Arenado and Washingtons Bryce Harper tied for the NL lead last year.Arenado hit a two-run homer in the first inning on Friday night. Carter accounted for the Brewers run with his homer in the fourth.I wasnt trying to hit any more homers, I was just trying to hit it hard, Arenado said. Definitely when (Carter) hit his homer, I realized he was one behind me now. Hes a great hitter and hes had an unbelievable year. Hes got a lot of power. He barely touched that ball and it went flying.The competition is fun, and thats just the way it goes. I feel like every time I hit a homer, the other guys does. Last year when I hit 42, Harper hit (his 42nd) the day after. Its always fun. Thats what makes this game good.Arenado and Carter are tied for the NL lead with 158 games played. Carters previous career high was 37 home runs with Houston in 2014, and he relished getting to 40.Its definitely nice, its a place Ive never been, Carter said. In (2014), I ended up with 37 and couldnt make it to it. I definitely started trying harder (in 2014). This year, I just kept playing the same game and not try anything different. ' ' '
