Greinke Finally Wins #4

You knew it was going to be our night when Angel Berroa actually walked—for the first time in 173 plate appearances. Throw in three more hits (including a home run) by Aaron Guiel at the top of the order, three hits from Justin Huber towards the bottom and a whole bunch of hits in between and you have a 12-2 Royals victory.

This victory means that Zack Greinke won't lose 20 games (he's 4-16 with 3 starts left). And for the first time since the Boston series, the Royals have finally won two games in a row. Unfortunately, we're still 10 games behind Colorado in the win column in the race to determine the worst team in baseball. While there's no saving this season for the Royals, it's still nice to win once in a while.

Sweeney was held out of the game (again) with soreness in his back, but it's a nice opportunity to see what Huber can do at this level.

Tonight, Jimmy Gobble (1-0, 5.92) goes against Mike Maroth (12-13, 4.82) in Detroit. Let's hope the Royals can give the Tigers their 10th straight loss and turn this into a real winning streak—three games.
