INDIANAPOLIS - Indianapolis has a message for the NFL: Its defence is pretty darned good. Calvin de Haan Jersey .And it can win games, too. Including the 500th in franchise history.On a day Andrew Luck threw for 344 yards and two touchdowns Sunday and Indy ran for 171 yards, the Colts usually overlooked defence overshadowed its higher-profile offensive counterparts with a 27-0 shutout of Cincinnati.Weve always had confidence, but at the same time we want to humble ourselves and be on to the next game and try to do it again and again, and again, and again, safety Mike Adams said after getting his first shutout in 11 NFL seasons.This was no fluke.Over the previous four games, all wins, the Colts (5-2) had forced eight turnovers, got 16 sacks and limited opponents to 18.8 points. With a chance to crack into the top 10, Indianapolis numbers were every bit as good:—Andy Dalton was sacked three times Sunday compared with a league-low two in the previous five games.—The Bengals, ranked No. 5 in total offence, managed 135 total yards, 32 on the ground.—Kevin Huber punted a franchise-record tying 11 times, 10 of which followed three-and-outs.—And when the Colts needed a fourth-quarter red-zone stop to preserve the shutout, they got that, too.The Colts are 500-444-7 in their history; they moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984.The Bengals (3-2-1) ran just eight plays in Colts territory, had only eight first downs and never had a chance after Dwayne Allens brilliant 32-yard catch-and-run made it 17-0.Indy did all that with Robert Mathis, the 2013 NFL sacks champ, relegated to waving a towel; starting defensive tackle Arthur Jones inactive; and starting linebacker Erik Walden ejected late in the first half for making contact with umpire Bruce Stritesky.Luck, who finished 27 of 42 and posted his sixth 300-yard game of the season, enjoyed every minute.Im just like a fan watching the game, I might as well just be a fan when our defence is out there, he said.Luck wasnt the only one applauding Indys breakout performance.With his six-game suspension over, Jim Irsay returned to the owners suite for the first time since the preseason. After three years of preaching about the need to have a balanced offence and stingy defence, Irsay and each defensive player received a game ball.It was Indys first shutout since beating Tennessee in the final game of the 2008 season.The reeling Bengals, winless since starting 3-0, were abysmal.Andy Dalton finished 18 of 36 for 126 yards. Giovanni Bernard carried seven times for 17 yards. Jermaine Gresham accounted for more than one-third of the Bengals total yards with 10 catches for 48 yards.In the first half, Cincinnati had only two first downs, the first courtesy of Waldens penalty with 48 seconds left in the second quarter. The worst part was enduring a shutout, the Bengals first since the final game of the 2009 season.Things were disappointing, coach Marvin Lewis said. Not having execution on third down offensively, to not make first downs and not make opportunities to keep the drives alive, and then have a couple plays on defence where we didnt play very well.But Luck and the Colts certainly did.T.Y. Hilton finished with seven catches for 107 yards, his second straight 100-yard game. Reggie Wayne caught four passes for 15 yards to give him 14,000 yards. Hes the ninth NFL player in that club. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw scored twice, including his first TD rushing of the season. In all, the Colts had 506 total yards.Luck didnt have to do much. He led Indy on two 68-yard drives in the first half, capping one with Adam Vinatieris 23-yard field goal and the other with Bradshaws 1-yard TD run to make it 10-0.In the second half, Luck closed the first 85-yard drive with a late throw to Allen, who barely caught the ball on his fingertips, then turned upfield and tight-roped the sideline for the score. Luck sealed it with a 10-yard pass to Bradshaw that the officials originally ruled down just outside the goal line before reversing the call to give Indy a 24-0 lead.The defence took care of the rest.NOTES: The teams were a combined 0 for 14 on third-down conversions in the first half, marking the first time thats happened in the same game since Cincinnati and Jacksonville did it Sept. 30, 2012, according to STATS. ... Bengals receiver A.J. Green was inactive for the second straight week. ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Royals manager Ned Yost admitted that he often manages an entire game around getting the ball to reliever Wade Davis in the eighth inning and closer Greg Holland in the ninth. The fact that Yordano Ventura gave him six solid innings made things even easier. Ventura returned from a sore elbow to keep the St. Louis Cardinals off balance, and Kansas City rallied for three runs in the sixth inning before the bullpen closed out a 3-2 win Thursday night that ended a string of eight straight home losses to its cross-state rivals. "The bullpen was fantastic tonight," Yost said. Of course, so was Ventura. The hard-throwing right-hander was skipped his previous time through the rotation because of the ailment, but looked sharp in his return. Ventura (3-5) pitched to contact and took advantage of some sharp defence, which helped him to limit the damage whenever he ran into trouble. "Everything was good," Ventura said through a translator. "I wasnt nervous. I was very anxious. I wanted to pitch well to help the team win." He wasnt in line for the win until the Royals rallied for three runs off Michael Wacha (4-4) in the sixth inning, and Francisley Bueno and Davis each pitched a perfect inning in relief. Holland made things interesting in the ninth. Oscar Taveras led off with a grounder toward second base that Omar Infante fielded deep in the hole and threw awkwardly to first base. Umpire Dan Iassogna initially ruled the throw beat Taveras to the bag, but a video review showed that he was clearly safe. Holland proceeded to strike out Jhonny Peralta, but a wild pitch sent pinch runner Randal Grichuk to second base. Holland then struck out Jon Jay and Peter Bourjos to end the game. The Royals took the first two games of the four-game, two-city series at Busch Stadium, and then lost 5-2 in 11 innings on Wednesday night before taking the series finale. Kansas City improved to 6-2 against National League clubs this season, while its slumping cross-state rivals lost for the seventh time in their past eight games. The game was expected to be a showdown between two oof the games bright young pitchers in Ventura, with his 100 mph fastball, and Wacha, who emerged for St. Johnny Boychuk Jersey. Louis last season. Neither of them disappointed. Ventura left two runners aboard in the first inning and a runner on third base in each of the next three innings. Alex Gordon then helped him out of the fifth, when he threw out Yadier Molina trying to stretch a single into a double with a strong throw from left field. The call was confirmed after a review that lasted 3 minutes, 30 seconds. Wacha only allowed two hits through the first five innings before Alcides Escobar started the Royals rally with a double in the sixth. Nori Aoki followed with an RBI double and Eric Hosmer guided a single through a drawn-in infield to knot the game 2-all. Salvador Perez, who had been in a 2-for-24 slump at home, followed with a go-ahead single. "Wacha was real good up the point of the sixth inning and thats consecutive starts where weve had starters come out and be real good and just hit a wall," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "We just werent able to get enough offence back after that." The fact that Aoki had a part in the Royals sixth-inning rally was perhaps fitting. The outfielder was leading off in the first inning when he took a pitch low and inside. He was still leaning slightly over the plate when Molina tried to return the ball to Wacha, and the throw instead ricocheted hard off Aokis helmet and toward the third-base dugout. Aoki crumpled into a heap and lay in the dirt for several minutes before resuming his at-bat. He later grounded out, but hurt the Cardinals with his double during the Royals decisive rally. "Yadi was real apologetic," Yost said. "Nori was just like, OK, OK." NOTES: Cardinals 2B Kolten Wong left in the fifth inning with soreness in his left shoulder, which he hurt diving for a ball Tuesday night in St. Louis. Daniel Descalso replaced him. ...
