After being swept by the Bronx Bombers over the weekend, the Royals carried over their poor play on Monday afternoon by getting shutout by the Cardinals 1-0.
Though the offense sputtered, Zack Greinke was brilliant for the fifth time in five starts this year. Despite allowing a first-inning home run to Paul Goldschmidt, the 38-year-old right-hander managed to cruise through the next five and toss a quality start. Greinke allowed just one run on three hits with one strikeout over six strong innings.
The offense has given him just five total runs of support in his five starts this season.
