Royals Report: 7/20 @ Milwaukee

KC travels to Milwaukee for some NL style action.Ron Tillman has been ice-cold, in a bad way, and will be on the mound in an attempt to lower his 5.77 season ERA. Like a few of our starters, his ERA is inflated this year despite a lower WHIP than he has had most years. So, a higher percentage of runner who reach base are coming around to score against him.  On the mound for the Brewers is likely Michael Favre (6-3 4.42). Jose Mota will bat Tillman 8th and hit 1B Arnold Moser 9th. Billy Rounds will lead off as Bernie Blanchard has a day off.

1 – CF – Rounds – .255 OBP is not ideal for a leadoff man
2 – SS – Lopez – .362 OBP is nice
3 – 2B – Soto – 12 HR/19 SB this year
4 – C – Davies – 8 HR
5 – LF – Braun – .819 OPS
6 – RF – Kirilloff – 1.364 OPS through 3 games
7 – 3B – De Sedas – .951 OPS through 9 games
8 – PI – Tillman – 1-for-12 in his career
9 – 1B -Moser – .864 OPS through 7 games

Ron Tillman career ERA/WHIP – 4.60/1.50 – This season – 5.77/1.45
