Game 52 - 6/2/2006

Royals 0, Mariners 4

Bobby Keppel made his first start as a Royal, and pitched quite well for six innings. The ageless Jamie Moyer pitched for the Mariners and like always, gave the Royals' hitters fits.

The Mariners finally started to figure Keppel out in the sixth, and they broke up the scoreless game with back to back homers by Lopez and Ibanez. Jeremy Affeldt relieved Keppel in his first bullpen duty since being demoted from the starting rotation. He also gave up two runs and Moyer finished the game notching a complete game shut out.

Looking at it positively, Keppel looked good and the Royals have never been able to hit against Moyer.
