ST Game #9

Game Date: March 7, 2008
Rockies 10, Royals 7 / Box Score
Royals Spring Training Record: 5-4

This was an ugly one. Two errors by the Royals. Seven walks by the pitching staff. Brian Bannister was hit hard again (5 ER, 1 BB, 6 H, 2 K, in 3.2 IP). But at least Mark Teahen was back in the line up where he hit his first home run of the spring. And the Royals stole two more bases to make them 15 out of 18 for the spring. Not much more to add about this one. We were out-pitched.

John Bale, Jorge De La Rosa, Ryan Braun, and Chi-hui Tsao will pitch for the Royals this afternoon against the Brewers. Two of the guys they'll go up against are familiar names: Jeff Suppan and David Riske.
