The Royals continued their winning ways on tuesday night with a 7-3 win over former Royals starter Jorge De La Rosa and the Colorado Rockies. It was a game that looked like a pitchers dual early between De La Rosa and Royals starter Zack Greinke. But in the 4th inning the Royals got on the board only to be answered by the Rockies scoring 1 run in the 5th inning and 2 in the 6th. The Royals stretched their 7 runs out between the 4th and 7th inning where they scored atleast 1 run in every inning.

Zack Greinke had a good start, going 6 innings with 10 strikeouts. Ramon Ramirez also had 3 of the 14 strikeouts by the Royals tonight. Other than Davies 1st inning blowup against the Giants the Royals starting rotation has really gotten on a roll and has been pitching pretty good.

The pitching has been there all year for the Royals though and while it has helped with the wins the Royals bats have picked up a lot from earlier in the year. In the last 3 games the offense has put up 26 runs. The Royals have even pick up the home run pace and they are no longer the worst in the league in home runs. They are also now 9-1 in their last 10games and are 7.5 games back of the White Sox for first. Hopefully the winning has not been because of weaker opponents from the NL and the team can continue on against AL opponents.
