Game 34 - 5/13/2006

Royals 1, Orioles 11

Is Kris Benson really this good? Pick any struggling pitcher and match him up against the Royals, and that pitcher suddenly becomes Cy Young.

The Royals couldn't do anything against Benson, save Matt Stairs' homer in the seventh. Royals starter Mark Redman struggled again, pushing his ERA up to 6.03.

Just acquired Chris Booker came into the game to relieve Redman in the seventh and promptly gave up six runs in just one inning of work. If Redman's ERA seems bloated, look at Booker's: 54.00.

The Bell Curve
Actual Record 10-24
Expected Record 10-24
Runs Scored 127
Runs Allowed 203
Projected Record 48-114
Pythagorean Record 46-116
Pythagorean Winning% 0.281

Let's go get 'em
