The Royals take on the Blue Jays with a chance to win their first series since taking 2 of 3 from the Yankees on their last homestand. Luke Hochevar (0-1, 11.57 ERA) gets his second start of the season, Hochevar is still looking for his first career win. Going for the Blue Jays is Kansas City native Shaun Marcum (2-1, 3.42 ERA).
Box Score
Luke Hochevar was in and out of trouble all night but picked up his first career win tonight by beating the Jays 2-1. Hochevar allowed 6 hits in 6 innings of work while cutting his ERA in half...more importantly the Royals won their first series since April 10th-12th when they took the series from the Yankees.
Mahey took over for Hochever in the 7th pitching a scoreless inning before Nunez took over in the 8th. Nunez walked Rios to lead off the inning and was replaced by Ramirez with runners on first and second-Ramirez got out of the jam. Soria pitched the 9th and recorded his 6th save in 6 chances.
The offense as normal barely showed up. Teahen lead off the 5th with a double and Gload drove him in with a one out single. The Royals took the lead for good with a 6th inning home run from Guillen, his second of the year.
