In their win over the Angels last night the Royals banged out 15 hits and they only gave up 2 runs on 6 hits.
Ian Kennedy (0-6, 5.40 ERA) is still looking for his first win of the season and in his last start he gave up four earned runs in 6 innings, but the lineup had his back in a 12-6 win over the San Diego Padres. The Royals had lost his previous 2 starts where he gave up 9 earned runs in 8 innings.
It is strange that on the road this season Kennedy has held opposing hitters to a .209 batting average, but is still 0-2 in five starts on the road with an ERA of 6.12.
One of Kennedy’s best starts of the season was facing the Angels where he took another no decision after going eight innings and not giving up any earned runs and only allowing 2 hits. In 4 career appearances, including 3 starts, against L.A. Kennedy is 1-1 with an ERA of 5.40.
The Royals swept the Angels in a 4-3 game series at home earlier this season where their pitching was stellar only giving up a total of 5 runs.

Kennedy is still looking for his first win in this game, which will be his 12th start. He will not get it facing an Angels’ team that has won their last 5 games after a loss. L.A. will take this game in what will not be a pitcher’s duel and snap their 5-game skid against the Royals
