Diamondbacks 7, Royals (ss) 2: Jon Jay makes his spring debut | The Kansas City Star

Center fielder Paulo Orlando hit a solo home run and provided half of the offense for a Royals split-squad in a 7-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday at Surprise Stadium.

The game

The Diamondbacks broke a 1-1 tie by scoring three runs in the sixth inning against Eric Stout, then added one in the seventh and two more in the ninth.

Arizona's Chris Herrmann hit a solo homer in the top of the fourth inning, but Orlando hit one of his own in the bottom of the frame. It was a towering blast up the berm in left-center field as Orlando continued to rake this spring.
