Game 32 - 5/10/2006

Indians 8, Royals 10

Sweep! The Royals got their first sweep of the season with a 10-8 win against the Indians. The offensive outburst continued today and the Royals scored 24 runs in the series.

Scott Elarton again pitched a great game but lost his first win when the Indians tied it up the eighth. They grabbed the lead back on Aaron Guiel's home run in the bottom of the eighth and got an insurance run when Angel Berroa followed Guiel with a homer of his own.

The series featured so-so pitching by the Royals but a lot of offense and a solid defense that committed no errors.

In one of those strange MLB scoring situations, Ambiorix Burgos got the blown save, but also got the win.

The Bell Curve
Actual Record 10-22
Expected Record 10-22
Runs Scored 121

Projected Record 51-111

Let's go get 'em.

In your spare time, if you could put the factors that go into a "blown save" and a win, I'd be interested...
