Non-roster invitees Thomas Hatch and Ross Stripling combined to give up nine runs as the Royals fell to the Brewers 12-5 on Thursday afternoon in Phoenix.
The top of the order did their job again in the first inning. Jonathan India led off with a double, followed by a Bobby Witt Jr. walk. Maikel Garcia would eventually get India home with an RBI groundout to put the Royals on the board.
Chandler Champlain, another non-roster invitee, struggled with his command in the opening frame. He walked three hitters to load the bases, but escaped without yielding a run.
