ST Game #7

Game Date: March 5, 2008
Royals 3, Giants 1 / Box Score
Royals Spring Training Record: 4-3

I doubt if anybody was expecting a pitchers duel today in Scottsdale, but that's what we got. Gil Meche was so effective (0 ER, 0 BB, 2 H in 3.0 IP) that he went to the bullpen after his three innings were done and he threw 15 more pitches. Hideo Nomo nearly matched him (0 ER, 1 BB, 3 H in 3.0 IP). That had to raise a few eyebrows. Barry Zito started for the Giants and only gave up one earned run in three innings. So, we were finally involved in a low scoring game.

Justin Huber had a nice day at the plate, going 2-for-3 with an RBI. He actually saw his average drop to .714. Ryan Shealy hit his first home run of the spring. The Royals scattered a few more hits.

Tomorrow, Zack Greinke goes against Dan Haren in Surprise.
