    Brad Keller has never given Royals manager Ned Yost a reason to question his confidence.

    Not when the young right-hander walked into the clubhouse in spring training, freshly acquired from Arizona in the Rule 5 draft. Not when he was thrown into the bullpen after spending most of his career as a starter. And not when Yost moved him back to the rotation in the big leagues.

    So when Keller stared down the Los Angeles Angels' potent lineup, and held Mike Trout and Co. to two hits over seven innings, the skipper may have one of the few people in the ballpark unsurprised.

    "He was never wide-eyed. Never overwhelmed in any situation we put him in," Yost marveled after the 22-year-old Keller pitched the Royals to a 2-0 win Monday in the makeup of a game frozen out in April.
