Michael Lorenzen pitched seven shutout innings as the Angels debut of Johnny Cueto is spoiled in loss to Royals.
Michael Lorenzen pitched seven shutout innings, MJ Melendez homered and the Kansas City Royals beat the Angels 3-0 on Wednesday for their sixth win in seven games. The Royals spoiled the season debut of Johnny Cueto , a 17-year veteran who helped Kansas City win the 2015 World Series. Cueto hadn’t pitched in the majors since Sept. 27 last year with the Marlins. He signed a minor league contract with the Angels in July, and was called up from triple-A Salt Lake earlier Wednesday.
John Schreiber pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Lucas Erceg worked a 1-2-3 ninth to earn his sixth save and fourth with the Royals. The Royals remained tied with the Minnesota Twins for the second wild-card spot and moved to within 2.5 games of AL Central-leading Cleveland with their first home series win in a month. The Royals put together a two-out rally in the second to grab a 2-0 lead.
