Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Gil Meche had a night that does not want to remember. Meche pitched into the seventh inning but was charged with 14 hits and five runs including one home run. The Royals went on to lose to the Texas Rangers 9-4 in the game.
Meche of course took the loss and is now 10-10 on the season. One Meche left the game, Joel Peralta gave up two hits and three runs while Robinson Tejeda also gave up a run out of the bullpen. Those three pitchers simply did not get the job done on Monday night.
The four Royals runs were scored on three singles and a groundout fielders choice as the Royals played small ball and never really had a huge inning. Alberto Callaspo, David DeJesus, and Ross Gload had the rbi singles while John Buck had the rbi on the groundout.
