Meche, Royals aim to match longest winning streak of season

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- Gil Meche takes the hill Tuesday when the Kansas City Royals shoot for their longest winning streak of the season.

Meche (4-6, 3.21 ERA) beat the Angels in his only other outing against them this season, limiting the American League West Division leaders to two runs and two hits in seven innings on May 3.

Now the veteran righthander, who allowed four runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings against St. Louis on Wednesday, looks to lead the Royals to their first three-game winning streak since May 16-18.

The Angels, who boast the majors' best home mark at 29-11, hope to rebound from Monday's surprising 5-3 loss. John Thomson, who was signed Friday, outpitched John Lackey while the Royals got RBI singles from David DeJesus and Jason LaRue.

Anaheim on Tuesday gives the ball to Ervin Santana (5-7, 5.06), who has pitched well here while struggling on the road throughout his career. The righthander owns a 4-1 home mark with a 2.83 ERA this season compared to a 1-6 record with a 7.53 ERA on the road.

In his last start on Wednesday, Santana was touched up for four runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings against Houston, marking the first time he has allowed more than three runs at home.
