The Kansas City Royals didn’t have much offense tonight but then again they didn’t really need it as they beat the Detroit Tigers 2-0.  Four different Royals pitchers combined to shutout the bad playing Tigers in the win.

Luke Hochevar pitched six innings and allowed four hits to pick up the win.  Hochevar is now 3-2 on the season and is starting to throw the ball better.  When Hochevar excited the game, Ron Mahay, Leo Nunez, and Joakim Soria all pitched an inning of scoreless baseball.  Soria pitched the ninth inning to record his tenth save of the season.

The two runs that that the Royals did get came in the second inning on a two rbi single by Joey Gathright.  The Royals didn’t have much offense, but it was enough to get by the Tigers tonight.
