Greinke not invincible, but still solid
Zack Greinke logged his "worst" game of the season in a no decision against the White Sox on Sunday, giving up three earned runs (four total) off eight hits with zero walks and seven strikeouts in seven innings.
Our View: The term "worst" is a very relative word when it comes to describing Greinke this season, as he still ended with a quality start, a fine WHIP and a strikeout per inning. Greinke remains a fantasy star and is the top candidate for the AL Cy Young award one-third of the way through the season.
On Sunday against the White Sox, the Royals bullpen squandered
News: On Sunday against the White Sox, the Royals bullpen squandered another respectable start by Zack Greinke, who had been only the third pitcher since 1920 with a sub-1.00 ERA 10 starts into a season. Greinke struck out seven and did not allow a walk while giving up a season-high four runs -- three earned -- which pushed his ERA from 0.84 to 1.10. Greinke left the game after seven innings tied 4-4 and took a no decision. [...]
Zack Greinke did not factor into the decision after allowing
Zack Greinke did not factor into the decision after allowing four runs -- three earned -- in seven innings against the White Sox on Sunday. What a bum. [...]
Greinke gave up four runs for the first time in 22 starts Sunday
Greinke gave up four runs for the first time in 22 starts Sunday vs Chicago. He took a no-decision with a solid line of eight hits, no walks, three earned runs and seven strikeouts in seven innings. [...]
Take a walk around the block before considering whether it's
Take a walk around the block before considering whether it's time to trade the ace. Even though he gave up more than two earned runs for the first time in '09, Greinke will be just fine. Take light in the fact that he posted his second straight walk-free performance, and fourth in six May starts. On June 5 in Toronto, he'll face a Jays lineup that has come back down to earth after a sizzling April.
