The Royals jumped to an early lead Monday at Scottsdale Stadium and beat the San Francisco Giants to remain undefeated through three Cactus League games.
The game
Whit Merrifield, who started in center field, gave the Royals a 5-1 cushion when he turned a 2-0 pitch into a two-out, two-run homer to the left-field corner.
The offense was efficient with its nine hits, going 5 for 9 with runners in scoring position and stranding only three.
