Royals to host White Sox in Yost's debut

Baseball Betting Lines

05/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Ned Yost era in Kansas City will commence tonight, when the Royals resume a six-game homestand with the first of three straight games versus the AL Central-rival Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.

After the Royals ended a seven-game slide and salvaged the finale of a three- game series versus the Cleveland Indians with a 6-4 win on Thursday, Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore relieved manager Trey Hillman of his duties and named Yost the new skipper. Hillman knew before the win that he would lose his job, but wanted to finish off the set with the Tribe.

"He (Hillman) said, 'I'm not going out losing seven in a row. I'm going out a winner [Thursday]'," said Moore. "Obviously he wore that all day, but during that game didn't share his emotions with anybody else and went out there and managed a baseball game."

Hillman had a 151-207 mark in two-plus seasons with the club, but the Royals still sit at 12-23 and just one game ahead of Baltimore for the worst record in the majors this year. Yost, meanwhile, had been in the Royals front office serving as a special advisor to baseball operations, a position he was appointed to in January. Yost spent 2003-2008 with Milwaukee and managed the Brewers to a 457-502 record, but was fired in September of 2008.

Before Hillman lost his job, reigning AL Cy Young Award honoree Zack Greinke threw six effective innings to pick up his first win of the season (1-4). He allowed three runs and eight hits and struck out eight batters. Joakim Soria threw a scoreless ninth for his eighth save.

Alberto Callaspo helped his pitching staff with a three-run homer and both David DeJesus and Yuniesky Betancourt had two hits and an RBI for Kansas City, which won for just the second time in 11 tries.

Like Greinke was yesterday, Royals starter Gil Meche is still in search of his first win of the season, having gone 0-4 with an 8.24 ERA in six starts. Meche, who will take the ball in Yost's debut, has dropped back-to-back starts but pitched well enough for the win in his previous outing despite not getting enough run support. In a 3-2 loss at Texas last Saturday, Meche gave up three runs over eight decent innings, but walked a season-high seven batters.

The right-hander, who is 0-2 in three home starts, lost his last appearance against the White Sox on May 3, when he allowed all five runs and nine hits in five innings of a 5-1 loss. Meche, however, is 8-4 with a 4.23 earned run average in 18 career starts against tonight's opponent.

Chicago just split a two-game set with Minnesota and suffered a 3-2 loss on Wednesday at Target Field. John Danks was saddled with the loss after he permitted all three runs and seven hits in seven innings.

"I was battling out there, went deep into the game and gave us a chance to win," Danks said about his outing.

Paul Konerko finished with two hits and an RBI for the Pale Hose, who have dropped four of their last six games. Juan Pierre contributed a pair of hits in defeat.

Mark Buehrle will try to pull the White Sox from their slumber when he makes his eighth start of the season Friday night. After winning his first two starts of 2010, Buehrle is 0-4 with a 6.23 earned run average in his last five trips to the mound.

The left-hander previously pitched last Friday in a 7-4 loss versus Toronto, but did not factor in the outcome after tossing eight innings of three-run ball. Prior to that start, Buehrle was rocked for five runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 frames in a 12-3 setback at New York on May 2.

He will face Kansas City for the first time in 2010 and has a bevy of experience in this series, having gone 20-9 with a 3.55 ERA over 43 games (41 starts) against the Royals.

Chicago won two of three games at home versus the Royals earlier this month and has taken 10 of the last 16 matchups between the teams.
