Zack Greinke finally earns his first win of the year, but it comes too late to save Trey Hillman’s job.

The Royals are 12-23 and in a familiar last place in the AL Central.

Mat Latos comes extremely close to pitching a no-hitter, but has to settle for a one-hit shutout, the first complete game of his career, as San Diego beats the Giants, 1 – 0. The only hit he allows is a ground ball by Eli Whiteside in the 6th that glances off him towards third baseman Chase Headley, whose throw to first base is a fraction of a second too late to retire Whiteside. For good measure, Latos also drives in the only run of the game.
