Royals 5, Rockies 2 / Box Score
WP: Duckworth (1-3), LP: Corpas (0-2), SV: Soria (9)
Royal Home Runs: Brown (1)
Royals Record: 16-27
Another good outing from a starter and another come from behind win in a close ball game. Could this finally be the team we were convinced was going to be better this year?
It sure seems that way.
We even overcame a baserunning blunder by Angel Berroa (what's new?) in the seventh. The Royals exploded for five runs in the eighth that included a three run home run by Emil Brown (who stood and watched it as it eeked over the left field wall and into the first row of seats).
Run Emil. Run!
The Royals had 13 hits on the night, and the bullpen had another good night as well as Brandon Duckworth and Joakim Soria finished off the Rockies over the final 2.2 innings.
Tonight, the Royals are looking to extend their winning streak to four games. Gil Meche (3-1, 1.91) goes against Taylor Buchholz (1-2, 7.52). Meche has never faced the Rockies. Buchholz is 1-0 in his career against the Royals with a 3.00 ERA.

Usually...when I see the world..."exploded" when reading about the Royals...I expect that word is used to describe their Bullpen and what the other team did to them.
How gratifying to hear/see the word "exploded" as a verb describing the Royals hitting performance!
Keep posting!!
