What a start for pitcher Zack Greinke in 2008! Greinke now has a 3-0 record after the Kansas City Royals defeated the Seattle Mariners 5-1. Greinke has to have a lot of confidence, and the whole Royals team has to have a lineup as they have got off to a great start this season.
Greinke pitched all nine innings and only gave up five hits the entire night. The one earned run came off the bat of Ichiro when he grounded into a fielders choice. Greinke was top notch and hopefully he will throw the ball the same way during his next start!
At the plate for the Royals, Miguel Olivo and Billy Butler both hit home runs. Olivo’s home run was a two-run homer, and Butlers was a solo shot. David DeJesus hit a sacrafice fly in the 7th inning and John Buck had a RBI single in the 8th inning.
