In a game with Jeremy Guthrie and a wild rookie starting after a rain delay, things went kind of like you would expect. Runs were scored immediately. Though Guthrie had a poor start, I think Jason Bourgeois, a former Royal outfielder, had the worst game aside from what he did at the plate. Zobrist had another great day at the plate. Things have changed.
Alcides Escobar led off the game with an 0-2 count but worked a walk from that hole. Yay! Ben Zobrist followed with a ground ball just inside the line on the first base side.
