Kyle Davies

Kyle Davies first start of the year for the Royals was a lot different than I had imagined it in my head. In my head, he gives up 5 runs in 5 innings as the Indians hit him around the park and get into the Royals bullpen early. However, the Indians made him look like a Cy Young award winner with stuff that they had never seen before and didn't even think about hitting hard. Davies went 5 solid innings. 1 ER, 5 H en route to an easit 4-2 victory for the Royals. CC pitched well, but the Royals took advantage of his mistakes. And when I say the Royals, I mean David DeJesus. He went 2-4 with a double, HR and 2 RBI and 2 runs. My favorite closer, Joakim Soria went 2 innings to close out the game. I really wish we had this guy, he's so dominant, and I have no idea how he does it. I was optimistic though when the Indians took the lead in the 3rd off of a Jamey Carroll single that scored Franklin. This was a terible loss, mainly because the Royals had lost their previous 12 games. I know they were going to win a game eventually, but it didn't have to be against the Indians and my thoughts of a sweep were crushed. Going into Sunday, I still feel that we're going to win the series because the last thing we need is to lose 2 straight games to the Royals.
