Zack Greinke is back in Kansas City, and manager Mike Matheny has already named him the Royals’ opening day starter. It will be Greinke’s second career Opening Day start for the Royals, but the first one came a while ago.
Greinke also started for Kansas City on Opening Day to begin the 2010 season. That is a 12 year gap between Opening Day starts in Kansas City for Greinke.
