The Royals haven't been swept since their 12 game slide at the beginning of the season, until they went to pittsburgh, where the Pirates swept them three games to none. The games were close, and the young Royals even led in two of the games, but they just couldn't pull the win out of the hat. Today the Royals welcome in the Brew Crew, as well as the Return of the Royals former Ace Zack Greinke. Lets get to it, and break down this Home stand for the Royals.
Tonight at 7:10pm, Luis Mendoza plays host to Zack Gerinke. Mendoza is 2-3 this season with a an ERA of 5.36, as for Greinke, he is 7-2 this season posting an ERA of 3.13. expect a great game here as Mendoza has turned his style around a little since the first 3 games he started, and Greinke has Dominated at the K his whole career.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, June 13, 2012 @ 7:10pm, Luke Hochevar takes the mound against Randy Wolf. Hoch is 3-7 this season with an ERA of 6.57, as for Wolf, he is 2-5 with an ERA of 5.45. Hoch is also 1-5 in his last 5 starts with a No decision in the Mix, but he did hold the Oriels to 1 run in his last appearance, which was the no decision and for Wolf, He's kind of in the same boat as he is winless in the month of April. look for a good match-up here and a very close game.
For the final game of the series on Thursday, June 14, 2012 @ 7:10pm, The Royals, pitcher to be announced, will take on Shaun Marcum of the Brewers. Marcum is 5-3 this season and on a roll at that. He's 3-0 in his last three starts and has only allowed 5 earned runs in his last 19 and 2/3 innings. look for an interesting game here as Marcum looks to keep on rollin, and the Royals try to win at home.
I have the Royals Shocking the Brew Crew by taking this series 2 games to 1. My explanation behind this is, well, the Royals are on a 4 game slide on the road, where they have played very well this season surprisingly, but are not off to a great start at home thus far. I think with that motivation, the Royals can win this home stand before they hit the Road for a six game road trip, and then return to The K to take on the Cardinals.
