July 29, 2008 The Royals had to practice patience, but the offense came through and earned the 5-2 win over Oakland. The main man was catcher John Buck , going 1-for-4 at the dish with his eighth home run of the season to drive in three. July 24, 2008 John Buck went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Rays. His hit was good for a double. July 7, 2008 John Buck went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's exciting 7-4 victory over the Rays in Tampa Bay. The game was tied 3-3 at the end of regulation, until Buck blasted his homer in the top of the 10th inning (off Dan Wheeler) to lead the Royals' rally. July 3, 2008 John Buck, who suffered a bruised groin due to a Wednesday night foul ball, was not in Thursday's starting lineup.
