The Kansas City Royals fell to 3-2 this spring with their 7-3 loss. While the offense produced little all day, Alcides Escobar did start off the game with a home run against Chicago starter Eddie Butler.
Despite the lack of hits, KC Royals batters did show impressive patience while drawing seven walks. Second baseman Corey Toups doubled in the eighth inning and came home on first sacker Samir Duenz’s RBI single. Kansas City also scored on a double play ball hit by non-roster invitee Garin Cecchini in the ninth inning.
