Angels Hit Royals Pitching Again

Game Date: March 13, 2007
Angels 13, Royals 7 / Box Score
Royals Spring Training Record: 6-8

Thankfully, most of the Royal pitchers who got clobbered by Angel hitters yesterday won’t make the 25-man roster. Todd Wellemeyer, who is trying to make the rotation, gave up five earned runs on six hits in 2.2 innings. His ERA is now 9.39. At this point, he better be happy if he makes the team. Jason Shiell gave up three earned runs in one inning. Jason Standridge gave up two earned runs in an inning. And somebody named A. Santos (I can’t even find the guy’s first name), gave up two runs on four hits in one inning.

On the positive side of things, Royals hitters did their job. David DeJesus was 2-for-3. Mark Teahen was 2-for-3 with an RBI. Ryan Shealy was 3-for-3 and brought his average up to .414. And ten other players had one hit apiece.

A couple of other things to note about this game—Mark Teahen stole his second base of the spring and Alex Gordon committed his third error.

Odalis Perez worked in a minor league game yesterday, throwing four scoreless innings on four hits, no walks, and five strike outs.

Zack Greinke is set to go against the Rockies this afternoon.
