May in Review

The month of May wasn't as good as April for the Royals, but it was good enough that they didn't fall too far behind. The Royals went 14-14, exactly .500 for May and are 32-23 overall on the season, three games behind the Indians in first place. Guillen continues to be hot with the bat, now with fourteen homers on the season and thirty-nine batted in. Of the three offseason acquisitions for the Royals, Kelvim Escobar is doing the best, leading the team in ERA and innings pitched. He has a 2.87 ERA in 69 innings pitched, along with two complete games, one of which being a shutout. Soria also continues to do well, now with eighteen saves in nineteen chances. While it was not a bad month for the Royals, May was also not a good month, and let's hope they can be over .500 for June, and also draft some good young talent.

Draft 2010

Once again, the Royals have had a good draft. They drafted two good young guys who can be valuable to this team in the future. In the first round, seventh pick overall, the Royals drafted right fielder Chris Conti. Conti is twenty years old and features good power along with decent fielding. In the second round, they drafted twenty-two year old right-handed pitcher Dewayne Basner. Basner can reach the high eighties, low nineties with his fastball, and features three good breaking ball pitches. Conti has some work to do, but could be ready for the bigs in a year or two. Basner could play in the majors now, but will like work in the minors to work on being a starting pitcher.

Then, with Willy Harris on third and two outs in the eighth, an easy chopper was hit to Meche, but he bobbled it, and Harris came in for the tying run of the game.

Soria closed it out in the ninth getting Zimmerman, Young, and Kearns to end the game.

Kansas City Royals (37-27) @ St. Louis Cardinals (30-34)
June 12, 2010

ST. LOUIS -- The Royals lost to the Cardinals tonight as the Royals can't get anything going against Mark Mulder. Mar Mulder in fact, drove in the game's first run with an RBI single in the fifth. He was followed by Kumagaya with a single to go up 2-0. The Royals then got two of their own in the seventh. Mark Teahen hit a single. Then when he was stealing second, catcher Kumagaya threw the ball into center and Teahen advanced to third. Later in Guillen's at-bat, a wild pitch was thrown and Teahen scored the Royals first run. Later that inning, Nick Johnson jacked a solo shot to tie the game at two. Unfortunately, the Cardinals got another two of their own in the bottom of the inning. Kumagaya hit his second RBI single of the game, and like Teahen, Rick Ankiel scored on a wild pitch. The Royals made an attempt at a comeback in the ninth with an RBI double ripped by Jose Guillen, but the Cardinals held on to win this one.
