Royals host Twins (game IV)

Another 7:10 start tonight as Gil Meche (0-1, 6.94 ERA) gets his second crack at the Twins. His last start vs. these twins he was rocked to the tune of 6 runs in 5.2 innings. Taking the mound for the Twins is Livan Hernandez (2-0, 3.86 ERA); his last start against the Royals he went 7 innings allowing 4 runs in a winning effort.

The Royals offense needs to get off to a good start after being held in check last night by Pettitte and it would be nice to see Meche get his stuff together and put together a couple good starts.

Box Score

Gil Meche had another rough outing getting blasted for 5 runs in 6 innings, he was assisted by some mis-played balls in the field. I really hope Meche gets things figured out because we can't depend on Bannister and Greinke to carry the full load of a winning season.

The Royals offense offense didn't show up as they have now gone 17 scoreless innings. Gordon had a 2-hit game and Butler added a hit and his hitting streak is now at10 games. Tony Pena Jr. was given the night off to see if he can get his head on right, we just can't have a starter hitting well under .100, it's just not right.
