Two in a row. It's a start. And the great thing about this game was the fact that Jeremy Affeldt finally seems to be getting in a groove. Affeldt pictched a great game, going 5.1 innings and giving up only 1 run and striking out a season high six.
The Royals had another good day offensively, triggering the Krispy Kreme donut giveaway (12 hits) for the second time in three games. They took advantage of mistakes by the Indians defense to get three runs in the second inning, and added insurance runs in the fourth and eighth. Elmer Dessens had another good outing giving up just two hits in 2.1 innings. Sisco and Burgos finished out the game.
The Royals have won 2 in a row despite some baserunning blunders. Beyond the base running, they have played solid baseball all around - pitching, defense and hitting.
After an off day Monday, we'll be at the ball park Tuesday night to see the Royals try to push the streak to 3 against the Twins.
