The Kansas City Royals lost to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night by the score of 5-0. I think the Royals were still thinking about last nights game when they blew the lead and ended up losing in ten innings. The Royals really need to move on and hopefully win some games this weekend.
Luke Hochevar threw 5 1/3 innings while giving up nine hits and all five runs to take the loss. Hochevar did not have his best stuff and it really showed against the Twins who roughed him up.
Ron Mahay, Yasuhiko Yabuta, and Neal Musser all pitched out of the bullpen and all did a pretty good job even though they gave up hits. The key for a relief pitcher is to not let runs score, and they did not allow a run to score so good job.
Alex Gordon had a rbi double in the ninth inning. That was about the highlight of the game for Royals.
