KC Royals Alex Gordon Plays Left in Omaha Victory

Omaha won their second straight against Sacramento, winning 6-0 on Monday night.

In his second rehab game, Alex Gordon started as the DH and went 1-for-3 with a single and a strikeout. He then moved to left field in the fifth (where Orlando Calixte had started). Gordon walked in the sixth, but was doubled off first base on a pop up to shortstop. He then grounded into an inning ending double play in the eighth.

Andy Ferguson earned the victory, as he allowed just three hits over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two. Ferguson also batted for the first time in his career, striking out looking to lead off the sixth.

Wandy Rodriguez was next and he left a runner stranded in the seventh, before throwing two scoreless innings. He also walked in the bottom of the eighth.
