Royals 3, Angles 4
The clock struck midnight for Royals pitcher Bobby Keppel. Keppel was called up from Omaha and pitched well enough in relief to earn a spot in the rotation. Keppel pitched well in his first two starts, but struggled against the Angels. Keppel pitched 5 1/3 innings giving up 8 hits and 4 runs.
The Angels held onto that 4-0 lead into the seventh, when the Royals finally rallied for three runs. Angel Berroa's RBI hit scored the third run and set the Royals up to continue their rally - that is until he ran into an out. As has been the case so many times this season, Berroa's blunder killed the Royals. I know Buddy Bell doesn't really have anybody to turn to, but shouldn't Berroa be reprimanded somehow?
Newly acquired pitcher Brandon Duckworth gets the start tonight. Duckworth represents Dayton Moore's first player acquisition.
Moore also made a move today, hiring Dean Taylor who joins Muzzy Jackson as Assistant GM. (Jackson takes on the VP of Player Personnel role while Taylor becomes VP of Baseball Operations).
