Ponson Hit Hard in Royals Loss

Game Date: May 1, 2009 
Kansas City @ Minnesota 
Twins 7, Royals 5 / Box Score
WP: Slowey (4-0), LP: Ponson (0-4), SV: Nathan (4)
KC Home Runs: None
Royals Record: 12-11 / Record in May 0-1

This was not Ponson’s night. In fact, at 0-4 with an ERA over 7.00, you have to wonder if Ponson might be this season’s Brett Tomko, but on a shorter lease. Tomko was 2-7 with a 6.32 ERA when he pitched his last game with the Royals last season on June 11. With Luke Hochevar 4-0 with a 1.44 ERA in Omaha, my guess is, Ponson’s days in Royal blue are limited.
