He took the mound in the top of the third inning with a scoreless streak. He pitched a scoreless third inning. However, he gave up one run in the fourth, two in the fifth, and one in the sixth.

He started the season as a starter but struggled and was recently moved to a relief role. However, he still had some bad outings. On March 3, he gave up three runs on five hits and one walk in 3.2 innings against the Boston Red Sox, and he also took a loss against Toronto the same day. He is tied for second in the majors for most losses this season behind teammate Jordan Lyles (4-16).
Greinke made his debut with Kansas City in 2004 and bounced around with the Milwaukee Brewers, Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and Houston Rockies before returning to the Royals last year. He won the Cy Young Award in 2009 after going 16-8 with a 2.16 ERA and 1.07 WHIP for Kansas City, leading the American League in ERA.
