Leave it to the Royals to post video game numbers in a Spring Training game. On a Friday. During the NCAA Tournament. In the 5th inning of today’s tilt against the Diamondbacks, the Royals led 21-0. (box score here.) The Royals scored those 21 runs the hard way, using 17 singles as the foundation of their attack.
Royals Have Their One Shining Moment in a Game That Doesn’t Count
↵One of the only exceptions to that wimpy onslaught was Brian Anderson. Anderson, the former White and Red Sock, keyed the Royal attack, hitting for the cycle... by the fourth inning. Anderson, it should be noted, isn’t even expected to make the team’s Opening Day roster. He’s a minor league spare part, for the Royals, but today he was Albert Pujols. Anderson was lifted for a pinch-runner after recording his fifth hit of the day, and is expected to announce his retirement in a press conference later tonight.
