Kansas City Royals Notes, Quotes 2009-04-16
--RHP Kyle Farnsworth was pinned with the loss Wednesday and has the Royals' only two bullpen defeats. In four relief appearances, Farnsworth is 0-2 with a 16.20 ERA, allowing six hits, including a home run, and six runs in 3 1/3 innings.

--3B Alex Gordon struck out to lead off the second, his fourth strikeout in as many at-bats. Gordon, however, did walk in the sixth with the bases loaded on a full count. He has three walks and eight strikeouts in 26 plate appearances.

BY THE NUMBERS: 14 -- Major league-low runs scored by the Royals in their first six games.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "I like the aggressiveness there, especially because I know Mark (Teahen) knew it was a left-handed-throwing outfielder (Shin-Soo Choo). Nine times out of 10 he's not going to be able to field it like that and throw it to second base. The one time he does, the guy behind him hits a home run," -- Royals manager Trey Hillman on Teahen out trying to stretch a single to right-center into a double Wednesday. Mike Jacobs, the next batter, homered to center.
