Bautista pitched 2 2/3 innings today, no runs, 3 hits, a walk and 3 strikeouts as the Royals played to a 10-inning draw with the Giants. Gotay, Guiel, and Emil Brown all continued their torrid hitting by hitting back-to-back-to-back homers. Gotay has clearly been the best hitter so far, he's now hitting .480 with 3 doubles, 4 HR, 9 RBI in 25 at-bats.
For the spring, Bautista now has pitched 7.2 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 11 K, 0.00 ERA. The other interesting tidbit is that in 4 of the last 5 games, the Royals "bullpen" hasn't allowed a run. The starter usually has been going 2-3 innings to get his work in, and that's where all our runs allowed seem to come from, the pitchers following the starter have been nearly perfect. That one game in this stretch where the bullpen was scored on, 3 earned runs came from one pitcher who isn't going to make the team (Roberto Giron), and the only other earned run was given up by Mike Wood. Pretty solid work.
