After suffering their first loss of Spring Training at the hands of the Padres, the Kansas City Royals looked to get back on track today against Chicago. Sadly, the pitching staff allowed nine White Sox to cross the plate and your final score was 9-5.
Positives

Despite a few other pitchers struggling immensely, the bullpen quartet of Kelvin Herrera, Brandon Maurer, Tim Hill and Kevin McCarthy was excellent.
