Kansas City Royals pitchers Luke Hochevar and Jimmy Gobble both had a night that they don’t want to remember.  Hochevar was charged with seven runs in only five innings while Gobble was charged with ten runs in only one inning of action.  A lot of people are probably thinking how in the hell does Gobble give up ten runs?  Well he was out there to take one for the team pretty much.

I should mention that Robinson Tejeda also gave up two runs as he pitched in between Hochevar and Gobble.  Yeah, it was a terrible night to be a Royals pitcher as they struggled on the mound.

Joey Gathright had a rbi single in the 8th inning and then scored on a wild pitch.  Billy Butler then added on a two run single in the 8th as the Royals scored all four runs in the inning.  It really didn’t matter how well the offense hit tonight because the pitchers were that terrible.

So was this the worst performance you have seen out of the Royals lately?  Leave us a comment and let us know!
