Kyle Muller wasn’t sharp in his second spring outing as the Oakland Athletics fell behind early in a 6-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
Muller made his second start of the spring and worked a scoreless first, but then ran into trouble in the second. Matt Beaty grounded out to begin the second, but Franmil Reyes followed with a single and then Muller walked Maikel Garcia to put runners at first and second. Reyes moved over to third on a fly out by Dairon Blanco. Jose Brice then brought home Reyes with a single to right to make it 1-0.
