Royals look to end nine-game slide
May 28, 2008 - 12:53 PM Minnesota (26-25) at Kansas City (21-31) 8:10 pm EDTKANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) - Zach Greinke will try to stop the bleeding for the Kansas City Royals when the club hosts the Minnesota Twins in the second of a three-game series on Wednesday.
If Kansas City hopes to end its nine-game losing streak, Greinke (5-2, 2.82 ERA) must bounce back from his last outing when he was tagged for six runs in five innings in a setback at Toronto.
The righthander owns a 2-3 record with a 3.65 ERA through 11 career appearances against the Twins, who posted a 4-3 win in the series opener on Tuesday.
Minnesota's Livan Hernandez (6-2, 4.22) also is looking to rebound from a dismal outing. The veteran righthander gave up six runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 frames in a no-decision against Texas on Thursday.
The 33-year-old Hernandez tossed seven scoreless innings the last time he face the Royals, who are 0-2 against the former World Series MVP.
