Royals pitcher Jakob Junis finally dipped his toe into the spring training waters

Not only did the Royals finally unveil starting pitcher Jakob Junis, but he pitched into the fourth inning during his first Cactus League start of the spring.

Junis allowed one run on three hits, a walk and four strikeouts in three innings before the Arizona Diamondbacks busted the game open on their way to handing the Royals a 13-5 loss in front of a sellout crowd of 11,355 at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Saturday afternoon. The Royals committed four errors.

Junis pitched three scoreless innings before he gave up two hits, a walk and one run without recording an out to start the fourth.
