Right-hander Ian Kennedy didn’t have a specific game plan in the Royals’ 8-4 win over the Angels on Tuesday, and he was fine with that.
Kennedy allowed three hits, no walks and struck out five in 3 1/3 scoreless innings in his third spring start.
“It was one of those check-off-the-box things … Dave (Eiland, the pitching coach) and I were trying to figure out what the game plan would be. It was just try and pitch. The first couple of outings, you just try and locate the fastball, locate the fastball and maybe mix in a couple of breaking balls here and there.
