April 9, 2010 Royals 8, Red Sox 1

How can you have a game with 9 runs scord, only 5 RBIs and 6 of the runs being unearned? Play a game like this. The Royals score in the 1st on a sac fly for an RBI after a passed ball advances the runner for an unearned run, a doubleplay grounder scores another run for Kansas City in the 4th for no RBI but an earned run, and a 6th inning mess where KC gets 5 unearned runs with 2 errors (one scored a run for no RBI), a balk for Tim Wakefield to score another run with no RBI, and a 3-run homerun for Yuniesky Bettancourt. Natrually, the one Sox run had no RBI when JD Drew grounded into a doubleplay with a run scoring. Menawhile, Royals starter Kyle davies watches all of this behind him and goes the distance. This game had one of those unearned runs to team but earned to pitcher things. All five of the runs in the 6th were unearned to the team, but Manny Declarmen came into the game during the inning and hit a batter and allowed Bettancourt's homerun. All three runs on the homer were unearned to the team, but two of the runs were earned to Declarmen on the HBP and the homer itself. The othe rrunner on base was charged to Wakefield and goes unearned both to him and the team. Here is that 6th inning mess: *** BOTTOM OF INNING 6 *** 0 S.Podsednik 5- 9 1 Ground Out b-0 1 A.Callaspo 6- 4 4 2 Base Error - 3B b-2 1 2 B.Butler 2- 2 6 HBP b-1 1 12 R.Ankiel 1- 6 15 3 Ground Out 2-3 1-2 b-0 2 23 J.Guillen 5-10 5 1 Base Error - SS 3-H 2-3 b-1 2 1 3 J.Kendall 1 Balk 3-H 1-2 SUBSTITUTE P - Manny Delcarmen 2 2 J.Kendall 2-10 1 HBP b-1 2 12 Y.Betancour 4- 9 2 5 Home Run 2-H 1-H b-H 2 C.Getz 4- 6 16 3 Ground Out b-0

Kyle Davies allowed Ned Yost to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game at
Kauffman Stadium as the Kansas City Royals beat the Boston Red Sox 8 to
1.
 
Kansas City set the tone of the game in the first inning plating one
baserunner.  David Dejesus lined a base-hit.  Dejesus was running on the next
pitch and he stole second.  Tim Wakefield then threw a high and inside pitch
that got by the catcher; it was ruled a passed ball.  Scott Podsednik
followed and he hit a sacrifice fly.  Kansas City totaled 8 hits on the
night.  
 
Davies(1-0) got the victory, allowing 1 run for the game. The losing pitcher
was Wakefield(0-1).  He gave up 5 hits and 1 walk in 5 and 2/3 innings.
