Meche shuts down Angels as Royals win third straight

<h3>KANSAS CITY 12, LA ANGELS 4</h3>ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- Gil Meche and the Kansas CityRoyals accomplished something few teams have recently - beat theLos Angeles Angels of Anaheim at home.

Meche (5-6) threw six solid innings and the Royals used threehome runs to cruise to a 12-4 victory over the Angels onTuesday.

Meche yielded three runs and seven hits over six innings withsix strikeouts, and rookies Billy Butler and Alex Gordon homeredas the Royals handed the Angels just their fifth loss in theirlast 23 home games.

The 29-year-old Meche also beat the Angels on May 3 by limitingthem to two runs and two hits over seven innings. Therighthander threw 61 of 95 pitches for strikes and walked justone to win for just the second time in 10 starts and improve to7-2 against the Angels.

Butler hit his first career home run in the fourth and Gordonadded a three-run shot in the eighth, driving in a career-highfour runs as Kansas City won three straight for the first timesince May 16-18.

Trailing 2-1 in the fifth, Joey Gathwright led off the framewith a double to left. Angels starter Ervin Santana (5-8) thenhit David DeJesus and Gathwright scored when third baseman ChoneFiggins committed a throwing error on a sacrifice attempt byEsteban German.

Mark Teahen followed with a double to to right that platedDeJesus, and German scored when Santana uncorked a wild pitch,making the score 4-1. Gordon then drove in a run with a singleto left.

It marked the second straight rough home outing for Santana, whosurrendered seven runs - six earned - and nine hits in fiveframes. Santana was also touched up for four runs and nine hitsin 6 2/3 innings against Houston last Wednesday.

Anaheim, which entered the game with the best home mark inbaseball, pulled within 5-3 in the sixth thanks to an RBIgroundout by Casey Kotchman.

However, John Buck hit his 14th homer of the season and DeJesusadded a sacrifice fly in the sixth to put the game away at 7-2.
