Game Date: March 24, 2007
Mariners 5, Royals 4 / Box Score
Royals Spring Training Record: 9-13

Odalis Perez got the start for the Royals today. He pitched five innings, giving up six hits, three walks, and one earned run, with two strikeouts. Ryan Braun continued his impressive spring, going one inning without giving up any hits or runs. Octavio Dotel gave up his first runs of the spring and got the loss.

At the plate, Esteban German was 1-for-2 with an RBI. Reggie Sanders was 1-for-4 with an RBI. Mark Teahen was 2-for-5. And Mike Sweeney was 1-for-4 with an RBI.

Alex Gordon made his fifth error of the spring—and that’s got to be a bit of a concern. Mark Teahen made his second error of the spring in the outfield.

Tomorrow, the Royals play the Brewers. Zack Greinke will get the start.
