Well, Jenn, actually the Royals aren't the worst in all of MLB. The Nationals hold that diSTINKshun. Seriously, the loss the other night in a come from ahead loss was very distressing and last night's loss was predictable as Greinke, even though a rook, is a leading candidate for the Cy. I mean he's second in the the league in K's and leads in ERA, the latter being within an eyelash of dropping under 2.00. However, tonight we got back on track. JB, though not at his best, was good enough to pick up his 16th W of the year and added 7 K's in six innings. He pitched when he had to and minimized the damage by the Royals.
Offensively, Martinez extended his career high hit streak to 22 games, Bay got a pair of ribbies to get to 115, a career high for a season, Jake got a pair of RBI's, along with his tenth triple, and Big Papi was big tonight, getting four RBI's, including his 25th HR, a three run shot. He still has the thinnest of chances at both 30 round trippers and 100 RBI's for the year, as does Youk. Realistically, with eleven games left, it'll be a push for either of them. Papi now has 85 ribbies for the year, and Youk has 86; they each have 25 HR's. Sox currently have five guys with at least 20 HR's on the year: Bay, Youk, Papi, Martinez and Drew. Lowell has an outside chance here, but a lot will depend on playing time, and with that hip, who knows.
