Greinke allowed one run on five hits and did not walk or strike out a batter over six innings in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.
Three of the five hits Greinke allowed were grounders that beat infield shifts. He deserved a better fate in what was the longest outing of his career without recording a punchout. The right-hander's won three of six starts since the All-Star break, sporting a 2.88 ERA during that stretch. Greinke is expected to pitch Monday at home against Kansas City.
