Meche hopes to end Royals' skid
Apr 18, 2007 - 12:54 PM Kansas City (3-11) at Detroit (9-5) 1:05 pm EDTDETROIT (Ticker) -- The Kansas City Royals paid a lot of money to Gil Meche. On Wednesday, the Royals hope Meche helps to halt a six-game losing streak when they face the Detroit Tigers.
Kansas City signed Meche (1-1, 3.10 ERA) to a five-year, $55 million in the offseason.
The 28-year-old righthander has dominated in two of his three starts this season, limiting the Boston Red Sox to just one run over 7 1/3 innings on Opening Day and tossing six scoreless innings last Thursday at Baltimore.
But Meche's lone setback came against Detroit on April 7, when he allowed six runs in seven frames.
If Detroit is hoping for a win Wednesday, staff ace Jeremy Bonderman will have to find a way to cool off David DeJesus. The Royals center fielder has pounded Tigers pitching for 12 hits in 20 at-bats this season, including a 4-for-5 effort Tuesday night.
Bonderman (0-0, 2.57) has been the victim of poor run support this season. Detroit has managed a total of seven runs in his three starts - all no decisions. The 24-year-old righthander has struck out 15 while allowing just six runs in 21 innings.
