The Kansas City Royals fell to 6-3 in the Cactus League after their 9-7 Saturday defeat in Goodyear, Arizona.
Most KC Royals fans would have pitched a fit if the team blew a six run lead in the eighth inning during the regular season. But, KC lacked a full compliment of pitchers due to playing with a split squad. Instead, Royals fans were treated to a display of veteran reclamation project Jonathan Sanchez‘s ability to get out of a jam. Sanchez spent most of his career as a starter, and is now attempting a comeback as a reliever four years after his last major league appearance.
