Zack Greinke has been the victim of poor run support in his rookie season. He was 2-6 going into yesterday’s game, with an ERA under 4. On Tuesday, he was his own worst enemy in a 12-3 loss to the Orioles. Greinke was charged with eight runs and failed to get an out in the third inning before getting pulled for Dennys Reyes. The performance raised his ERA to 4.57. Baltimore scored twice in the first and scored three runs in both the second and third inning. Kansas City’s three runs were the result of 11 hits. The loss moved the Royals back into the American League cellar behind the Mariners.
