The Royals look to avoid the sweep today against the A's as Luke Hochevar (0-0, 0.00 ERA) gets his first start of the season; taking the ball for the A's is Dana Eveland (1-1, 2.00 ERA). This is the second time this season the Royals have faced a three game sweep, last time Brett Tomko stepped up against the Twins, and the Royals avoided the sweep in Minnesota.
Box Score
Luke Hochevar looked sharp...for his first 3 innings and the Royals were out to a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the 4th, the suddenly red hot Oakland offense, scored 5 runs with 2 outs. Hochevar tried coming back for the 5th but allowed another run in 2/3 of an inning and was replaced with Mahey. Hochevars line for the game was 4.2 IP, 6 runs on 9 hits with 3 BB and 5 SO's.
The Royals offense was, well, terrible. The Royals had a season low 3 hits and only scored the 1 run in the 3rd inning. Not much else to say about it really, was pretty boring.
The Royals finished the road-trip 2-5 and are now 2.5 games back from the White Sox.
