Omaha vs. Nashville

I had a chance to catch the Omaha Royals on Saturday night. D.J. Carrasco got the start and he looked sharp. He changed speeds well and kept the ball down. He left the game after 4 2/3 innings with a 4-1 lead and I never did find out why. He didn't appear to be injured, but he must have been.

Aaron Guiel had two hits, one of which was a monster shot over the center field wall. I'm thinking he'd look pretty good in the KC line up right now. He's only hitting .263 in Omaha, but his swing looks as good as ever. He did show some indecision in right field on two plays and one of the instances cost the O. Royals a run.

Chris Truby looked good at third base, making all the routine plays. And he hit a towering home run down the left field line. But with Teahen playing the way he is in KC right now, I don't see Truby even getting a second look from the big league club.

One name you might want to remember is Byron Embry. He's the closer for the O. Royals and this guy can throw some serious heat. His ERA is a rather inflated 4.76, but he picked up his 7th save of the season on Saturday night and he looks tough.

The O. Royals won this one 6-4 and are hovering around the .500 mark.
