Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke was saddled with a loss Monday after giving up a season-high five earned runs on 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings and striking out four in his team's 5-3 defeat against the Royals.
Greinke (9-4) was incredibly hittable against his former team, giving up 11 hits for the second time in his last four starts. After entering June with a 2.18 ERA, Greinke now owns a 2.89 ERA and 101:20 K:BB ratio in 96 2/3 innings. He's scheduled to square off with the Cardinals Saturday.
