Greinke reaches ten wins

Royals’ pitcher Zack Greinke is once again tied for the major league lead with 10 wins after going 6.1 innings Sunday afternoon at Pittsburgh as the Royals won 3-2.  Greinke is now tied with Roy Halladay, Kevin Slowey, and Tim Wakefield for wins.  A rain delay cut his outing short.

The Royals finish interleague play 8-10 and avoid the sweep by the Pirates.  David DeJesus hit his sixth home run of the season and got two more runs when Mark Teahen doubled in a run and DeJesus picked up his second RBI of the day on a fielder’s choice.  Not only was Greinke good on the mound again, he also doubled.
