2nd is best!

Yes, your first week/weekend of baseball is in the Book folks. Your Royals are in second Place by one and a half games, and only one game out of first. So lets get to the facts. Game 1, Bruce Chen had a scoreless game going into the 7th inning and Yost yanked him out of the game giving Crow the opportunity to take control. Well he did striking out the side. 8th inning came along and Crow ran out of Juice. with bases loaded and 1 out Holland came in, then things got ugly and he allowed all 5 of the Angels Runs. Royals lose the opener, but the next day they bounced right back. Scoring 2 in the first they never looked back winning 6-3 Giving Hochevar win number 1 on the year. Finally to wrap up the series Sanchez got a win in his debut. he went 5 innings with 4 strike outs, and 2 earned runs on 4 hits. So overall it was a great weekend for the Royals as Hosmer has 2 homers in 3 games while Butler and Mouse got their firsts of the year. Then Hochevar and Sanchez both Recorded their first win, and Broxton nabbed his first save. Not to mention The machine, Albert Pujols, was held to no homers and 4 hits in 10 at bats. Pretty good indeed. If the Royals can hold up like this till the All-Star break, you could see some upsets happening toward the end of this season.
