The Kansas City Royals jumped out to a 3-0 lead after three innings but then went onto lose to the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 on Tuesday night.  Another up and down game for the Royals, just like there entire season as been.

Brian Bannister took the loss for the Royals and feel to 3-4 on the season.  Bannister gave up thirteen hits and five runs in 6 2/3 innings of action.  Bannister got it often, and got hit hard all game long.  Ron Mahay and Jimmy Gobble finished the game out giving up one hit each.

The Kansas City Royals gave up four runs in the top of the ninth innin on Monday night as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Royals 4-0.  Ramon Ramirez ended up taking the loss as he gave up the first run in the ninth inning, but Jimmy Gobble gave up one run, and Joel Peralta gave up another two runs to push the game out of reach for the Royals.

I really don’t think it would have mattered however.  The Royals had problems at the plate all night long against Ervin Santana who tossed a complete game shutout for the Angels.  The Royals were only able to get four hits in the game.  Santana was just wheeling and dealing and the Royals just didn’t have an answer.

It did suck to see Brett Tomko pitch seven inning and only allow two hits as he took took a no decision on the game.  Usually if Tomko only gives up two hits, the Royals are going to win the game.

The Kansas City Royals outhit the Texas Rangers 6-5 on Thursday afternoon but lost the game 2-1.  The Rangers hit two home runs off Royals starter Zack Greinke and that was all they needed as the Royals offense hit like crap.

Greinke took the loss which was his first of the season in the game.  He did throw seven inning and struckout nine batters, but had the two mistakes to Ian Kinsler and Ramon Vazquez who went deep.

The only run the Royals could manage came in the third inning when Mark Grudzielanek singled in Tony Pena Jr.  The Royals just could never get a rally going at all in the game.
