Well, make it 13-27 in one run games for the Royals this season. Mike Wood made one mistake in the third inning to Paul Konerko and it cost him the game when Konerko cranked his 36th home run of the season. The Royals couldn't find a way to score and they lost 1-0.
The Royals only managed six hits. Two of them came off the bat of Aaron Guiel who is looking quite comfortable in the lead off spot and in centerfield—where he made an unbelievable sliding catch with fielders flying all around and over him. He got off to a slow start at the plate when he first came up a couple of weeks ago, but he's doing it all right now. Unfortunately, it's not enough to make much of a difference on this team.
The Royals are now 44-93, by far the worst record in baseball, and amazingly are 42.5 games behind the White Sox. And it's hard to be optimistic about the match up tonight. J.P. Howell (1-5, 7.08) goes against Freddy Garcia (12-7, 3.75).
