Royals Win Again!

Yes, Make that a two game winning streak and their first series win since the opening series against Los Angeles. Over the past two games, the Royals have out scored their opponents 12-4, while hitting 4 home runs and batting .300 overall. It was an exciting time for this young Royals team as they take over 4th in the AL Central and are now only 5 games out of first place. Crazy, I know, but It`s just a weird year in sports.

Now the Royals head off to Minnesota to take on the Twins in a best of 3 series. Tonight`s pitchers are Everett Teaford, for the Royals, and Carl Pavano for the Twins. Teaford with no wins and a 3.86 ERA, he is also replacing an Injured Danny Duffy, who is just taking Precaution and isn't seriously injured. As for Pavano, he is 1-2 and has an ERA of 4.73 so far this season.

As for Saturday you have Bruce Chen, who is 0-2 with a 2.52 ERA, looking to take on Jason Marquis, who is 1-0 with an ERA of 7.15. Look for Chen to get his first win here If, yes If He can get run support and Relief from the pen.

Then wrapping up the Series you have Jonathan Sanchez, with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 6.75, Taking on Nick Blackburn, who is 0-2 with an ERA of 7.53. Look for Sanchez to pick up his second win of the year If the Royals hot hitting form the Boys continues and Solid pitching form the Pen in the late innings.

I expect a great series and close games for the most part this weekend. It`s the last place Twins hosting the 4th place Royals in the Battle of the Bottom feeders.
