In a season of offensive struggles, Zack Greinke has gotten little run support:
The Royals haven’t offered him much run support, and that didn’t change Tuesday. Kansas City has scored just 29 runs in Greinke’s 92 2/3 innings this season. Bobby Witt Jr.’s two-run homer in the fourth was the Royals’ only offense of the game until they scratched one across in the ninth inning. They struck out nine times against Twins starter Kenta Maeda and didn’t manage a hit until the fifth on Witt’s 13th homer of the season.
“He’s always been a guy who’s just not going to give in,” Quatraro said of Maeda.
