Good for Greinke
Zack Greinke allows a clean double to Drew leading off the inning, but strands him at third, finishing the inning with a strikeout of Crisp. With over 90 pitches thrown, he's probably done for the day. Kansas City fans have to be overjoyed with this performance. He held the Red Sox to two runs, when he got into trouble he didn't panic. A fine return as a starter.
And he might not lose as DeJesus rises and knocks the ball out of the park leading off the bottom of the sixth. Dice-K left a fast ball over the plate, and David got all of it. It's 2-1 Boston.
Update: German bloops one to center for consecutive hits for the Royals. Teahen tries to keep the rally going.
Update: The strike'm out, throw'm out DP clears the bases. Teahen was caught looking on a nice pitch on the outside corner. The stadium thought German was safe, but it was a very close play, but I thought he was out. Brown follows with a double, so the CS saves a run.
Update: Matsuzaka gets ahead of Gordon with splitters, then freezes him with a pitch on the low outside corner. That's eight strikeouts for Dice-K through six. He's at 96 pitches, so we'll see if he comes out for the seventh.
Update: Wow. Grienke comes out for the seventh and uses just six pitches to retire the side. He gives up a single to Pedroia, but erases him with a double play.
