First, only on the Ship will you get inside information like this:
Is this what the Royals needed? I’d say YES! Great start from P-Dog tonight. Six scoreless, six strikeouts and one win. Glad to have him back. Huge improvement over Mendoza.
Gordon raised his batting average .28 points tonight with a 4 for 5 performance. Butler drove in runs, bullpen was solid. Great win. Guaranteed a split with the Yanks and a chance for a win tomorrow to take the series.
Hochevar vs. Phelps tomorrow has the makings of a 15-12 type Royals win so get your tickets and go enjoy a day at the ballpark tomorrow.

Royals had a chance to blow this thing open in the first inning but didn’t take advantage: Betancourt doubled to start the game, Gordon walked and Butler singled. Bases were loaded w/ nobody out. Hosmer hit into a double play that allowed one run to score but then Frenchy made an out to end the inning. Frenchy came up again in the top of the third with a chance to produce (runners at 2nd and 3rd) but again grounded out to end the inning. He needs to be benched. Get some comments going boys and girls!

Shoddy defense and terrible work by the closer kill Royals chance of extra inning (and series) win against the Oakland A’s. Read more
