Pitching spoils good offense

The Tribe lost a 2nd game in a row to the Royals. This time they lost 10-7, but they blew leads of 2-0, 4-2, and 6-4. Johnson, Graves, Sauerbeck, and Davis all contributed to the Royals looking like the RedSox. I don't have a lot of anaylsis in relation to the lost, but I can only guess how concerned Shapiro is with the pitching staff giving away as many games as they have already.

My guess is that Sowers might see some action relatively soon, because we need to stay within a reasonable range of the WhiteSox and Johnson and Byrd don't appear to be the answer. Im sure Boone and Michaels are a concern to Shapiro as well, but the offense is still way above average even with two starters struggling.
