A KC Royals reliever survived the first roster cuts. Can he survive them all?
Between now and Opening Day, the Kings of Kauffman writers are analyzing how various Royals performed last season and predicting how they might fare this year. Up today is pitcher Richard Lovelady.
Richard Lovelady made his fifth Cactus League appearance for the KC Royals Thursday and, just as he did in his four previous relief stints, pitched well. Given the final inning of the seven-frame game against Milwaukee, the lefthander walked one batter, retired two on ground balls, and struck out another to earn the save in the Royals’ 4-2 win.
