Garza still can't beat Royals: Rays SP Matt Garza allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings during a 4-2 loss Thursday against the Royals. Kansas City got one run off Garza in the first inning on Mark Grudzielanek's sacrifice fly, then three in the fourth on a run-scoring single by Ross Gload and John Buck's two-run single. Garza walked four. "I just kind of felt out of whack," said Garza, who had no strikeouts for the first time in 45 career games. "It was weird that I couldn't find a rhythm." (Updated 07/25/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Garza (8-6) was coming off a solid outing, allowing two hits in 7 2/3 scoreless innings against Toronto. But he had to follow it with a game against Kansas City, a team he can't seem to beat no matter what he does. The right-hander entered with a respectable 3.42 ERA in four career starts against the Royals, but was 0-3. Garza's tough luck against the Royals continued on a steamy night at Kaufman Stadium Thursday. Not being able to beat the Royals is a bad thing to have on your pitching resume. Aside from his issue with K.C., Garza has been pretty steady on the hill for the Rays in 2008. He has been a great addition and worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy SP. His next scheduled start is in a rematch with the Blue Jays Tuesday. (Updated 07/25/2008).
