Game 1: Zack Greinke had his first truly rough game of the year lasting only 5 innings while giving up 6 runs. Halladay on the other hand had no trouble with the Royals struggling line-up, he tossed a complete game allowing only 1 run on 4 hits. Guillen drove in the only run for the Royals with an RBI single in the first.
Player of the Game: Jose Guillin (this is almost charity at this point) he went 1 for 3 with an RBI.
Game 2: The Royals offense remained silent once again as the Royals were blanked by Jesse Litsch. Litsch threw Toronto's second consecutive complete game and he only needed 103 pitches to do it. Hochevar went his normal 6 innings giving up 4 runs.
Player of the Game: Mark Grudzielanek...umm, he did have 2 hits in four at bats.
Game 3: Meche provided the Royals with a goldon opportunity to break this streak but the bats are still playing dead as they only managed 1 run against McGowan. The good news is McGowan only went 7 innings...way to get that starter out early guys!
Player of the Game: John Buck he went 2 for 4...I've got nothing clever to say, this is just sad.
Game 4: It was a banner day for the Royals offense as they scored 2 runs today, that's right, sadly the Royals lost again. Shaun Marcum tossed 7.1 innings allowing only 2 runs on 5 hits. You just have to love being an opposing pitcher facing the Royals, you just know your ERA is going to drop by a point.
Player of the Game: Mark Teahen went 2 for 4 with an RBI-he raised his average to .249.
Look at the numbers:
- The Royals are now 1-11 in four game series
- The Royals were outscored 23-4
