Scott Elarton was tagged for six runs in two-plus innings by the Cardinals on Thursday.
The Royals gave Elarton nine early runs to work with, but he couldn’t provide them with the innings they needed after Odalis Perez’s short start Wednesday. Elarton now has an 8.54 ERA in seven starts since coming off the DL. He’s given up 11 homers and struck out just 13 in 32 2/3 innings, providing strong evidence that he simply doesn’t have the stuff to succeed as a major leaguer right now. Unfortunately, the Royals seem content with Zack Greinke in the pen, leaving them with no strong candidates to replace Elarton in the rotation. He might keep his spot for now.
