Brown Struts Stuff in Win Over Orlando
Today was Kevin Brown's turn in the rotation for the Kansas City Royals and he made the most of it, shutting out the Orlando Devil Rays on 1 hit.

The 32-year-old right-hander led the Royals to an easy 8-0 victory, allowing 1 walk and tallying 6 strikeouts.

"I hope we miss him next time," Orlando manager Ben Tennyson said. "Brown certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."

In 9 starts this year Brown has fashioned a 5-2 record and a 1.60 ERA.
