Game Date: May 13, 2007
Royals 11, White Sox 1 / Box Score
WP: De La Rosa (4-3), LP: Vazquez (2-2)
Royal Home Runs: Teahen (4)
Royals Record: 12-26
When the top of your line up goes 7-for-12 with 6 RBI, 5 BB, and 6 runs scored, you know you're in for a pretty good day. That's what DeJesus, German, and Teahen did yesterday. Throw in another great outing from Jorge De La Rosa and you have yourself a W. Finally. It's their first victory against the White Sox this season and just their seventh in thirty-two tries at U.S. Cellular Field.
Mark Teahen gave the Royals a 4-1 lead in the fifth inning when he hit a three run home run. De La Rosa kept White Sox hitters in check for seven innings and David Riske and Joel Peralta finally had good appearances. Riske pitched a scoreless eighth and Peralta finished the game with a scoreless ninth.
Tonight should be an interesting game in Oakland. Gil Meche (3-1, 2.15) goes against Dan Haren (3-2, 1.89). Meche is 2-7 in his career against the A's with a 4.34 ERA. Haren is 2-1 with a 2.60 ERA.
