Hanley Ramirez hit a homerun and had 3 RBI and Dan Haren mowed down 10 Arizona
batters at Kauffman Stadium where the Kansas City Royals beat the Arizona
Diamondbacks by the score of 7 to 4.
Haren(1-0) pitched well for Kansas City in their victory. He went 8 innings
surrendering 8 hits and 4 walks. Grant Balfour pitched a perfect ninth and
was credited with his 1st save.
James Shields(0-1) was given the loss. He was knocked around pretty good,
giving up 7 runs in 2 innings. Brooks Crandall was asked about the
performance of Haren, 'He had his good stuff out there this afternoon. The
fans really get into it when the strikeouts start mounting up - and that
seems to give him even more adrenalin.'

Stadium in a hard fought contest.

but they were unable to push the needed runs across.

the loss in relief. He allowed 1 run and 1 hit without retiring a batter.

Shields(1-1) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the Kansas City offense.
He surrendered only 6 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. Arizona managed 14 hits
in their victory.
The losing pitcher was Chad Billingsley(0-1). He gave up 6 runs in 5 innings
of work. Brooks Crandall was upset after the game. 'I don't like to
complain but did you see that umpires strike zone?', he said. 'Maybe they
ought to start calling the strike zone the way it's printed in the rule
book.'
