The Royals broke into the W column Monday for the first time in four days with a 4-0 win over the San Diego Padres at Surprise Stadium.
Starter Jakob Junis appeared to be in mid-season form in just his second outing of the Cactus League season. He no-hit the Padres through four innings and the only player to reach base was Christian Villanueva, who was hit by an errant pitch.
Junis struck out seven of the 13 batters he faced. He was able to control all of his pitches, including a new curveball he hopes to work in alongside his slider.
