K.C.’s Greinke touched for run, but Royals win
Kansas City, Mo. ? Zack Greinke talked last winter about a pitcher reaching that perfect blend, where physical ability matches mental ability.
So with a 5-0 record after five starts, is he there?
“I’m trying to get to that,” he said. “But not yet.”
The Kansas City right-hander is close, though. He gave up an earned run for the first time in 43 innings, but Billy Butler backed him up with two homers Wednesday night, and the Royals pounded 11 extra-base hits in an 11-3 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Vernon Wells’ RBI single with two outs in the first produced the first earned run off Greinke (5-0) since September.
