The Royals are 9-7 after a 5-3 loss to Los Angeles of Anaheim. The Royals are now 2nd in the AL Central, out by a half game. Brett Tomko pitched seven innings, a good amount for a fifth starter. Six of them were strong innings, and he limited the Angels to seven baserunners (for a 1.00 WHIP). He got in trouble in the third when he loaded the bases with two out.

I'm amazed that I can still say that the Royals have owned a winning record all year in the third week of the season. Especially if they continue to score so few runs.
