The Royals’ recent offensive fire was extinguished Thursday, as they lost 1-0 to the Brewers at Maryvale Baseball Park.
The starter
In his final outing of the spring, starter Nate Karns fell victim to one fourth-inning mistake: a two-out homer by Brewers outfielder Brett Phillips.
Karns tried to stun Phillips with an 0-1 curveball. But Phillips pulled the pitch into the berm beyond right-center field for the only run of the game.

“He did a great job,” Karns said.
