The Kansas City Royals have now won 11 of 13. Last night Kansas City reached .500 for the first time in a month. The Royals have been winning behind solid starting pitching. During the 13 game stretch of winning baseball the Royals have held their opponent to a .217 batting average and 1.69 ERA. Tonight, they will send Ervin Santana to the mound.


Ervin Santana will take his 2.74 ERA & 1.00 Whip to the mound and try to win his 3rd straight decision. Over his last 3 starts he's given up 13 hits, 2 runs, and has 14 K's to 2 BB over 21.2 innings. On April 27th vs. Cleveland Santana allowed 6 hits and 0 runs over 7 innings to pick up the win. Aviles, Brantley, Giambi, Reynolds, and Santana are hitting a combined .155 vs. Santana.


Meanwhile, the Royals offense is no slouch as they have averaged 4.5 runs over the 13 game stretch and 5 runs per game the past week. They'll take on Ubaldo Jimenez who is 2-1 his last 3. However, in his last start it took him 101 pitches to get through 5 innings and the stat before that he lasted only 3 innings given up 7 hits and 5 runs. He has issued 7 BB's his last 2 starts and look for some more regression here tonight vs. the hot Royals.


The Indians have now lost 19 of 26 games. They are 20-14 at home this year, however, over their last 11 home games they are 5-6. They are on a real skid with Azdrubal Cabrera, Zach McAllister, and closer Chris Perez all on the DL. On top of that, Nick Swisher has not played since Saturday and reports out of Cleveland are suggesting that he will not be available to Friday now. With this team struggling they way they are, the last thing they need at this point is to lose one of the run producers. Look to play against this team until they can get healthy again.



Look for the Royals to continue their good roll here tonight as they are eager to get back above .500 and possibley make a play for the wild card down the stretch of the season.
