Royals' Starling goes deep in Fall League win

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Bubba Starling and the Surprise Saguaros had finally had enough.

The Surprise squad jumped out to an early lead and never looked back as it snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-0 win over the Scottsdale Scorpions on Tuesday.

"We've had a rough few games it seems like the last three, four, five games and it's good to come out and get a quality win," Starling said. "The pitching was great and we were hitting up and down the lineup."

A day after being shut out, the Saguaros' offense got on track early as it scored in three of the game's first four frames, including two runs in the first.
