Royals at Angels (game I)

The Royals continue their West coast trip in Anaheim as they face the Angles in a 9:05 start. Gil Meche (0-2, 7.13 ERA) looks to get on track for the Royals and Jared Weaver (1-2, 3.79 ERA) gets the start for the Angels.

Box Score

Gil Meche finally earns his first win of the year with a 3-2 victory over the Angels. Meche didn't pitch especially well, but much like last year he fought through some rough innings and kept the team in the game; he also lowered his ERA to 6.08. The bullpen pitched amazing again throwing three scoreless innings in preserving the win.

The offense-what can I say? It's nice winning so it's hard to complain but boy they sure can't score many runs can they? They racked up 13 hits but only 2 extra base hits and only managed to score in the first and second innings. Gathright had 3 hits but was picked off first and thrown out at third on a steal attempt. Teahen broke his mini slump getting three hits as each regular got at least 1 hit, well except Gload and Pena.
