Scott Borthwick is to leave Durham after rejecting the offer of a new contract and taking up a three-year deal with Surrey.Borthwick has been one of the countrys most prolific run-scorers over recent seasons and was tipped to win an England recall during the summer, before a run of poor form saw Gary Ballance picked instead. He was out of contract at Durham and will follow his team-mate Mark Stoneman in moving south to London.A Durham statement said: Scott Borthwick has rejected Durham County Cricket Clubs three-year contract extension and will leave the club at the end of the 2016 season.The club made a strong offer to keep his services but the 26-year-old has decided to accept an offer elsewhere and we respect his decision. Scott has been a good servant of the club and we would like to take this opportunity to wish him well for the future.A few hours later, Surrey confirmed the move: The club is pleased to announce that Scott Borthwick has agreed terms with Surrey CCC on a three-year contract.Borthwick has won four caps across the three formats, primarily as a legspinner, and last played for England in the Sydney Test during the 2013-14 Ashes. He moved up to bat at No. 3 for Durham in 2013 and passed 1000 runs three seasons running; he is once again closing in on the mark this year.Durham, who are not yet certain of their Division One safety, have faced difficulty holding on to players due to the financial situation at the club. Stoneman agreed a deal to join Surrey for 2017 during mid-season but Keaton Jennings, Paul Collingwood and Ben Stokes - who has an ECB central contract - have signed extensions.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Manager Ned Yost called it just another day.It wasnt. It was Yosts 62nd birthday on Friday, but he had to wait until Saturday morning to celebrate the Kansas City Royals 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins in 11 innings.It was the hat trick: three-hour, three-minute rain delay, 12-minute delay for a lights malfunction and extra innings.Guys pulled up a truck last night (Thursday) and they probably had too much to drink and they wanted me to go out and have a beer with them after the game, Yost said. I said, no guys. Im sorry. A (guy) said, Well, its my birthday. I said, good, happy birthday, mine is tomorrow. And they said really.Yost asked them how old he looks?They said, You look 50-51, Yost said. I said, OK, good. You guys go have a good time and stay out of trouble.Yost could have had a happier birthday if starter Edinson Volquez maintained a 4-1 lead in the fifth inning with three quick outs, which would have made it an official game. Instead, Volquez retired only one of the five batters he faced, and yielded three runs, three doubles and a single.The Royals have won six straight, equaling their longest winning streak of the season.Right-hander Ian Kennedy will start for the Royals on Saturday and the Twins will counter with left-hander Hector Santiago.Kennedy is 1-0 with a 0.95 ERA in his first three August starts. He has not won since June 26 at Kauffman Stadium.Santiago, who was acquired Aug. 1 from the Los Angeles Angels for Ricky Nolasco and Alex Meyer, is 0-3 with a 9.42 ERA in his first three Twinss starts.dddddddddddd Santiago has allowed 16 runs (15 earned) and 21 hits, including four home runs, three walks and a hit batter in 14 1/3 innings.The Royals beat up Santiago on Saturday at Target Field. He was pulled after four innings, surrendering seven runs and nine hits. With the bullpen worn out after five relievers were utilized in the extra-inning loss, Twins manager Paul Molitor is hoping Santiago can give them several innings.He said he will talk to pitching coach Neil Allen about who might not be available for Saturday. That would include right-hander Ryan Pressly, who required 45 pitches to get through two innings. Left-hander Taylor Rogers threw 23 pitches in 1 2/3 innings and is probably iffy.Ill have to talk to Neil and try to measure whos available and how much we can get from people, Molitor said. Theres going to be some people not available, so, come on, Hector.Molitor said they debated on sending Pressly out for another inning.I thought a little bit about tomorrow and Sunday, but we had a chance to win a game and if he was OK I was going to let him go out there, Molitor said. Sure enough, he had a long inning, some long at-bats, and he got up there past the 40s and I wanted to make sure he was OK.We were able to give him a few days rest prior to today, but he wanted that last hitter and he was able to get him out. That was a pick-me-up at the time for him to get through two for us. ' ' '
