Mike Wood didn't win the game last night, but he put the Royals in a position to win. He gave up 2 ER in 5.1 IP—with zero walks. Not bad for a guy who wasn't chosen to be one of our five starters as we broke camp a couple of month ago. And considering what has happened to our rotation since then, well, Wood looks to be secure in the rotation for a while.
"I'll give him a couple of more starts—yeah," Bell said after the game. "We were planning on that anyway, but tonight solidified it because of the way he pitched."
Unfortunately, the Royals couldn't get their bats going—something that couldn't be said for former Royal Raul Ibanez who was 3-for-3 with 2 RBI in Seattle's 4-1 win.
Tonight the Royals send Scott Elarton (1-6, 4.94) against Kevin Millwood (6-3, 4.85). I'm heading to the stadium shortly, and hopefully I'll be able to bring you an interview or two from one of the players.
Berroa Walk Watch (the quest for double digits): 3 walks in 52 games.
