The Kansas City Royals jumped out to a 3-0 lead after three innings but then went onto lose to the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 on Tuesday night.  Another up and down game for the Royals, just like there entire season as been.

Brian Bannister took the loss for the Royals and feel to 3-4 on the season.  Bannister gave up thirteen hits and five runs in 6 2/3 innings of action.  Bannister got it often, and got hit hard all game long.  Ron Mahay and Jimmy Gobble finished the game out giving up one hit each.

Alex Gordon led the Royals at the plate as he went 2-3 with a RBI and a walk.  Miguel Olivo and Ross Gload also had one RBI in the game.

The Royals will try to avoid the sweep on Wednesday as they face the Angels once again.

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 outhit the Texas Rangers 6-5 on Thursday afternoon but lost the game 2-1.  The Rangers hit two home runs off Royals starter Zack Greinke and that was all they needed as the Royals offense hit like crap.

Greinke took the loss which was his first of the season in the game.  He did throw seven inning and struckout nine batters, but had the two mistakes to Ian Kinsler and Ramon Vazquez who went deep.

The only run the Royals could manage came in the third inning when Mark Grudzielanek singled in Tony Pena Jr.  The Royals just could never get a rally going at all in the game.

The Kansas City Royals came out of the gates swinging in the first couple of innings as they quickly got a 5-0 lead on the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night as they went onto beat the Rangers 9-5.  It was nice to see the Royals score so many runs in the first five innings of the game as it kept the pressure on the Rangers who couldn’t quite respond and take the lead.

Jose Guillen had a team high five RBI in the game includind a two run home run in the fourth inning.  Mark Teahen finished the game with three RBI while Ross Gload had one RBI in the game.  Where would the Royals have been without Guillen in this game?  On the losing side I’m thinking.

Royals starting pitcher Brett Tomko got roughed up in only 3.1 innings as he gave up seven hits and five runs.  Tomko walked three batters and struckout three batters.  Ron Mahey pitched 2.1 innings of relief after Tomko left the game to pick up the win.

The Royals are now 12-14 on the season as they try once again to get to that .500 mark.

The Kansas City Royals played poorly in both games of the double header against the Cleveland Indians on Thursday.  The Royals lost 9-6 and 2-0 as their season record dropped to 9-12.  The Royals will need to turn things around on Friday when they start a series with the Toronto Blue Jays.

What do you think Royals fans?  Can the Royals get things turn around and get back over .500 in the next week?

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.

The Kansas City Royals got swept 3-0 for the series against the Oakland Athletics.  After getting three hits and scoring one run in the third inning, the Royals just could get a rally going all night long.  Falling behind early with the Athletics scoring five runs in the fourth inning, the Royals had a lot of work to do and just weren’t able to make it happen.

Luke Hochevar is now 0-1 for the year after opening his first game this season.  After pitching only 4.2 innings he gave up 9 hits and 6 runs.  Ron Mahay, Ramon Ramirez, and Leo Nunez were brought in to close it out but were unsuccessful in pulling out the win.

Coming off a three game losing sweep against the Athletics, do you think the Royals can pull it together to take on the Indians in Kansas City on Tuesday?

The Kansas City Royals had some troubles against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night as they lost the Angels 5-3.  The Royals just weren’t able to get much going against Angels starter Jon Garland.

Brett Tomko took the loss for the Royals even though he threw the ball pretty good.  He pitched seven innings and gave up five earned runs on six hits.  Ron Mahay pitched the eigth inning and gave up two hits.

David DeJesus and Jose Guillen both had an RBI for the Royals.

The Kansas City Royals used three runs in the first couple of innings to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Wednesday night.  Gil Meche pitched an outstanging ballgame for the Royals who improved their record to 9-6 on the season with the win.

Meche picked up his first win of the season after pitching six inning and giving up six hits and two earned runs.  Meche said he finally put away batters unlike his last few starts.  Joakim Soria picked up his fifth save after closing the door on the Angels in the ninth.

Billy Butler and Alex Gordon had one RBI each for the Royals.  Nice to see the two young stars contributing and putting runs up on the scoreboard.
