Royals starter Brian Bannister says that he prefers pitching during the day. Kansas City defeated Cincinnati 7-1 in an afternoon game on Sunday. "I like pitching in the day," Bannister said. "I'm kind of a morning guy, so my body feels good. I think that goes against what most guys how they feel. I try to put the pressure on them early." He is 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA in three day starts this season. The right-hander is 15-4 in 26 career day games, as opposed to 13-25 in night games.
