The Royals finally stopped the Rangers eight game winning streak this afternoon. Calvin Pickering bashed two home runs—one a grand slam—in his Royals debut and the Royals never looked back. They won 10-2.
The crowd begged Pickering for a curtain call and he obliged. I bet that was quite a rush for a guy who has played in Triple A all year. We'll get to see quite a bit more of him in the next couple of weeks.
Greinke pitched six shut out innings. He was behind too many guys considering he had a huge lead, but he escaped each time.
Affeldt pitched for the first time since coming off the DL yesterday and threw one scoreless inning.
The flight to Anaheim tonight should be a little more enjoyable.
