Manager Trey Hillman likes stability in his lineup so he trotted out a familiar one for Saturday night’s game against the Twins:

 David DeJesus, rf
 Scott Podsednik, lf
 Billy Butler, 1b\
 Jose Guillen, dh
 Alberto Callaspo, 2b
 Rick Ankiel, cf
 Jason Kendall, c
 Alex Gordon, 3b
 Yuni Betancourt, ss

Luke Hochevar was the pitcher. Although a light rain was falling, the Royals were hoping for the 6:10 p.m. CT start or close to it so the prospects were looking good for Zack Greinke Bobblehead Night.
