More Info

Gil Meche pitched five effective innings Saturday in his second minor league rehabilitation start, leading the Omaha Royals to an 8-4 victory over the 51s in the Pacific Coast League in Omaha, Neb.

Meche, a 2007 All-Star with Kansas City, has been on the major league disabled list since July 18 with a strained lower back. He held Las Vegas to one run on three hits and three walks and struck out two.
