Ponson looks for redemption against Royals
Apr 25, 2007 - 2:47 PM Kansas City (6-13) at Minnesota (11-9) 8:10 pm EDTMINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Sidney Ponson is looking for better results this time around against the Kansas City Royals.
Ponson (1-2, 9.39) makes his second consecutive start against Kansas City on Wednesday in the first game of a two-game series.
The 250-pound righthander was knocked around in his last outing vs. the Royals, allowing six runs and 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 11-7 loss last Friday.
Ponson will be opposed again by Odalis Perez (1-2, 8.64), who picked up his first win of the season in that game. Perez yielded four runs and seven hits in five innings.
