Major League Baseball: Royals 2, Angels 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The measures within a rebuild are rarely easy and rarely enjoyable, but the grind is particularly difficult for those who preceded it in Kansas City, those whose initial seasons here were composed of more meaningful games in the standings. And so Royals manager Ned Yost outlined a blueprint last week to provide some veteran players a day off from a most difficult month.
Brad Keller extended the break an extra 24 hours.
Keller pitched the best game of his rookie season Monday, seven scoreless innings that sparked a 2-0 Royals victory against the Los Angeles Angels at Kauffman Stadium.
