The Royals scored in each of the first five innings, including four multi-run frames, and routed the White Sox 12-0 on Thursday at The Ballpark at Camelback Ranch.
The game
Second baseman Whit Merrifield ended his, ahem, one-game hitless streak as he had a double, a triple, stole home on a botched play and added two RBIs.
Merrifield, who has hit in seven of eight games, is batting .500 with three doubles, three triples and five RBIs in Cactus League play. He has a 1.045 slugging percentage and four mulit-hit games.
