Game 27 - 4/30/2008

Royals 9, Rangers 11

The Royals' offense is finally starting to produce runs after struggling for much of this young season. They've scored a season-high 9 runs in two straight games.

While scoring 9 should be good enough for a win, it wasn't last night. Brian Bannister, who had looked dominant in earlier starts, struggled mightily. He gave up 7 runs while throwing 90 pitches in 3 innings.

I've always worried about Banny. He's a very intelligent pitcher who gets by on location and trickery. He doesn't not have overpowering stuff. We can only hope that he has more tricks in his bag.
