Stairs hits, Greinke pitches, Royals win

The Royals got the second half started right tonight with a 12-9 win over Detroit. Greinke finally got his 2nd win with a decent start, 2 ER on 5 hits over 5+ innings, Burgos came off the DL and gave up a homer and 2 ER, Mike Wood came in and gave up 5 R, but only 2 were earned as Teahen erred. MacDougal came in and let the tying run get up to bat but got the save for 12 on the season. The bats did the job, too, as Stairs had 2 homers, including a slammer in the 8th, and 6 RBI. DeJesus and Berroa had 3 hit nights and Long pitched in with 2 hits. Only Buck and Sweeney had 0-fers. Hope the offense can keep this up.

Tomorrow night it's D.J. Carrasco vs. rookie Sean Douglass. Burgos took Ryan Jensen's place on the roster as Jensen was DFA'd, again. Kyle Snyder was also activated and sent to Omaha. The Royals have a good shot at keeping it rolling tomorrow night.
