| June 3, 2005 Ambiorix Burgos pitched the ninth inning on Thursday to tally his second save with the Royals. He got the chance only because Mike MacDougal had pitched in three straight games and the last two days. New manager Buddy Bell officially named MacDougal his closer earlier in the day. |
| May 15, 2005 Ambiorix Burgos walked two batters in the ninth inning on Sunday, and both came around to score. He had the game won on a strikeout with two outs, but it came on a wild pitch, and the batter reached first base. Mike Wood came on to get the final out for his second save in as many days. Burgos has struggled mightily in his last three outings, allowing seven earned runs in two innings. |

| May 5, 2005 Royals manager Tony Pena refused to say that Jeremy Affeldt would be given the closer job once he returns from the DL, suggesting that rookie Ambiorix Burgos has a chance to keep the job for the rest of the year if he continues to pitch well, according to the Kansas City Star. |
| May 1, 2005 Ambiorix Burgos worked a 1-2-3 ninth inning on Sunday for his first major league save. Burgos is working as the closer for the Royals at least until Jeremy Affeldt comes off the DL, which isn't expected to happen for at least another few weeks. |
| April 25, 2005 The Royals will insert Ambiorix Burgos as their closer with Jeremy Affeldt on the disabled list and Mike MacDougal struggling once again, according to the team's official website. "The thing about Burgos is he had 98, 99 miles per hour on his fastball and the splitter, and the slider and he's been able to throw strikes with his fastball," Royals manager Tony Pena said. |
| April 23, 2005 The Royals called up Ambiorix Burgos from Double-A Wichita on Saturday. He was 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA and one save in seven games with Wichita, with 17 strikeouts and six walks in eight innings. |
| April 23, 2005 The KC Star reports that Ambiorix Burgos likely will be recalled from Double-A Wichita by the Royals today and could even take over immediately as the closer. "He's got electric stuff, GM Allard Baird said, and his field awareness is much improved." Burgos is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 17 strikeouts in eight innings. He posted six scoreless innings in seven appearances. |
