The Royals are on the road for another evening matchup under the desert lights.

It’s Cole Ragans’ day. He hasn’t pitched particularly well this spring allowing seven runs in less than five innings, but these games don’t count so who cares? You can also expect to see Carlos Hernández, Jonathan Bowlan, Thomas Hatch, and Andrew Hoffmann pitch tonight.
