Gil Meche
Kansas City Royals (9-9, 4.22)
Meche, who has been a solid starter since joining the Royals last season, has been sensational as of late. He is 3-0 in his last three starts with a 1.33 ERA and is 6-1 in his last 10 overall.
In his last start, a road triumph against the Oakland Athletics, Meche
lasted seven innings, relinquishing just five hits and striking out eight. He is 4-4 and has 4.68 ERA at home this season and is 4-2 with a 3.69 career-ERA against the Boston Red Sox.
The Royals are 5-0 in Meche's
last five starts and are 6-2 in their last eight home games against Boston.
Royals won six of their last seven games.
KC is on a mini run and has one of their top pitcher's facing a pitcher for
Boston that has struggled on the road. KC has a great chance tonight to win, but no way are they a lock.
