The Kansas City Royals gave up four runs in the top of the ninth innin on Monday night as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Royals 4-0.  Ramon Ramirez ended up taking the loss as he gave up the first run in the ninth inning, but Jimmy Gobble gave up one run, and Joel Peralta gave up another two runs to push the game out of reach for the Royals.

I really don’t think it would have mattered however.  The Royals had problems at the plate all night long against Ervin Santana who tossed a complete game shutout for the Angels.  The Royals were only able to get four hits in the game.  Santana was just wheeling and dealing and the Royals just didn’t have an answer.

It did suck to see Brett Tomko pitch seven inning and only allow two hits as he took took a no decision on the game.  Usually if Tomko only gives up two hits, the Royals are going to win the game.

The Kansas City Royals were never really in the game against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night as they were hammered 15-1.  The Royals were only able to get six hits in the game, so there was no way they could keep up with the hot hitting Indians who put 15 runs up on the scoreboard.

Starting pitcher Gil Meche dropped his third game of the season as he only lasted 3.1 innings.  Meche gave up nine hits and eight earned runs.  Terrible outing for Meche who was hoping for a lot better preformance.

Joel Peralta, Yasuhiko Yabuta, Jimmy Gobble, and Ramon Ramirez all seen action out of the bullpen and all except for Ramirez gave up atleast two earned runs.  Gobble gave up three while only recording two outs.

Mark Teahen had the lone RBI for the Royals. Teahen singled in the eigth inning to score Tony Pena Jr.
