Spring Game #2

Game Date: February 26, 2009
Royals 7, Rangers 2 / Box Score
Royals Spring Training Record: 1-1

Six home runs in two games, huh? This time John Buck hit a solo shot and Coco Crisp went deep—over the center field wall no less. But the biggest hit of the game came on a two-out, three-run triple by Ross Gload in the seventh inning.

The pitching was better. Kyle Davies threw two scoreless innings, striking out two and walking two. Julio Cesar Pimentel threw two scoreless innings as well. Roman Colon and Carlos Rosa threw one scoreless inning each. And Joel Peralta gave up one run in an inning of work.

The Royals committed two more errors: Tony Pena (fielding) and Buck (throwing).

This afternoon, the Royals will face the Giants in Scottsdale. Zack Greinke will go up against Randy Johnson. Jamey Wright, Robinson Tejeda, Devon Lowery, and Joakim Soria will all probably see action today as well.
