The Kansas City Royals completed a three game sweep of the Oakland Athletics with a 4-3 victory in 11 innings on Wednesday afternoon.  The Royals have now won four straight games!  Most Royals fans have to be sky high right now with the four wins in a row lol!

Jose Guillen hit a rbi sac fly to score Esteban German for the winning run in the eleventh inning.  I wonder if Guillen even said a word afterwards with the way he has been demanding a trade.  Guillen also had a rbi single the sixth inning as he finished the game with two rbi.  Mike Aviles and Mitch Maier both contributed with an rbi each as well.

Brian Bannister gave up eight hits and two runs over five innings to get the no decision on the mound.  Horacio Ramirez was charged with one run as he pitched when Bannister was taken out of the game.  Ramon Ramirez ended up getting the win while Joakim Soria nothced his 30th save of the season.

Good job by the Royals!  I need to let all the readers know that I will be out of town until August 12th as I will be at a conference out of town for the next couple of weeks.  If there is a Royals fan out there that would like to do some blogging and game recaps, please email me by clicking the contact us link at the top of the blog and I will send you some details.

Thanks – Cliff
