Bottom of 4th: Grudz only needs a 2B for CYCLE, Royals pounding Sox
 

Mark Grudzielanek already has a HR, triple and single in his first 3 at bats tonight, all against the White Sox Jose Contreras.

Royals are up 7-0 in Chicago.

Supposedly, the radio guys were saying that Grudz had agreed to a contract extention with the Royals earlier in the day. I haven't found any articles confirming it though. Just basically that they agreed to use the option for 2007, and added an option for 2008.

Its a beautiful day on Royals land

TV guys mentioned a new contract twice, but didn't give details

In top of 6th, Grudz flied out to right on the 3rd pitch, after taking a strike and fouling off the 2nd pitch.

Royals up 7-0 in bottom of 6th.

The Royals Adam Bernero has 6 K's in 6 inning pitched. Royals are up 7-0 going to the 7th.

Jose Contreras is done for the night. This could be the first time in 10 outings against the Royals that his team will lose.

7-0 going into the bottom of the 7th.

Top of the 8th, two Royals on, no outs, Grudz on deck.

DeJesus knocked in the 2 runners on. Grudz is up, with DeJesus on 1st, no outs, Royals up 9-0.

Grudz flied out the left against the lefty. Oh well. Maybe he'll get another plate appearance.

Damn, Teahen has been on fire since being called up. Another double for him!

10-0 Good Guys.

MacDougal is now pitching for the White Sox.

Hochevar made his debut tonight with Burlington against class A South Bend (Arizona). On the radio they said his pitch count was going to be about 35.
