The Kansas City Royals are taking on the Los Angeles Anaheim Angels of Anaheim, California this evening at Kauffman Stadium. In a weird scheduling quirk, every Wednesday home game post All-Star break for the Royals is a night game to conclude a three-game series, followed by an off-day. They had no such games before the break.
Michael Lorenzen will start for Kansas City. Lorenzen has been great in three starts for the Royals if you only look at his 2.87 ERA. His FIP is 4.75, however, driven by his dismal 6.1% K-BB%. He got knocked around in his last start against the Angels, surrendering five runs in five innings on July 10.
