Saunders a new Rogers
Angels rookie left-hander Joe Saunders got an impressive compliment Tuesday from a Kansas City veteran. Saunders rebounded well from a poor start last week to give up just one run with a career-high eight strikeouts. Afterward, the Royals' Mike Sweeney had some nice things to say.
"He pitched like a young Kenny Rogers only with a little more on his fastball," Sweeney said. "He threw fastballs in changeup counts and changeups in fastball counts. He was tough."
