Royals Shut Out Again In Loss To A's - Kansas City News

For the second time this season, the Royals’ offense failed to put a run on the board, and Kansas City fell to Oakland 1-0 last night. The Royals had absolutely no answer for Tommy Milone, who threw eight scoreless innings while only surrendering three hits. The loss dropped the Royals record to 2-2 on the season.

The embarrassing offensive output wasted a great outing from Luis Mendoza, who pitched 5 2/3rds innings and only gave up one run on five hits. Mendoza had a fantastic spring, compiling a 4-0 record and a 0.47 ERA in exhibition play, and hopefully this is a sign of things to come for the journeyman the Royals are counting on this year.

While early, it has been hard to figure out the Royals this season. The offense has looked great in the team’s two wins, and dreadful in Kansas City’s two losses. One constant so far has been starting pitching – the Royals starters have all pitched extremely well. With a young and talented lineup, the Royals offense should start to find some consistency. The big question mark entering the season was the starting rotation, and so far, the Royals’ rotation has looked good.

With Kansas City hosting the 2012 All Star game and young stars like Eric Hosmer, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the Royals early in the season. With an easy early schedule, the Royals have a great chance to build some momentum and live up to the early hype.

Kansas City faces Oakland again today at 9:05 PM. Danny Duffy (0-0) will get the start for the Royals, while Graham Godfrey (0-0) will start for the A’s.

George Brett Named Ambassador For 2012 MLB All-Star Summer - Kansas City News

George Brett has been named the ambassador for the 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Summer. Brett, one of the most decorated players in Kansas City Royals history, will participate in several events leading up to the All-Star game.

Brett will headline the MLB All-Star FanFest from July 6-10 and will manage the United States’ team in the All-Star futures game on July 8. This will be the hall of famer’s second appearance as team USA’s manager. He will also play in the Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game on July 8 and will serve as the official race starter for the MLB All-Star Game Charity 5K & Fun Run.

With the 2012 All-Star game taking place in Kansas City, there is no better representative the Royals could have selected than Brett. The baseball legend spent his entire 21 year career with Kansas City, and is a great representative of an era when the Royals contended for championships and weren’t viewed as a bottom feeder. The All-Star game and the week’s festivities will give Kansas City the opportunity to showcase some of the club’s biggest heroes, and Brett certainly fits that bill.
