Zack Greinke (3-0, 1.25 ERA) looks to carry the Royals to their second straight series win tonight when he faces off against Sidney Ponson (0-0, 1.69 ERA). Ponson has only made one previous start this year, he went 5.1 innings allowing 1 ER. Ponson however, has had a rough couple of years with a 5.24 ERA in '06 and a 6.93 ERA last year. What does that mean you ask? It means the Royals will probably make Ponson into Cy Young...I hope I'm wrong however, because Ponson is very hittable.
Box Score
This is one of those games where you are just kind of sick to your stomach afterwards. Greinke pitched 7 really good innings against the Rangers allowing only 2 solo shots while striking out a season high nine. Sidney freakin' Ponson however, "out pitched" Greinke throwing 8 innings of 1 run ball.
This is getting frustrating, what is it going to take for the hitters to wake up? They can't really be this bad can they? This is already the 10th time they have scored fewer then 2 runs in a game. Their record in those 10 games you ask...1-9. Now the Royals have lost 2-3 to the worst team in the league and now head to Cleveland to face a team that swept them in their last meeting.
