The Kansas City Royals have won three of their first four spring training games, in large part due to impressive pitching performances from key players.

 

Cole Ragans, who pitched at an all-star level following a trade to Kansas City last season, struck out five batters in two innings on Sunday. Ragans also reached 100 miles per hour on the radar gun.

 

In a 6-0 win over the Chicago Cubs yesterday, new pitcher Seth Lugo threw two scoreless innings. He says he still gets nerves despite being an established veteran.

 

The Royals will be in split squad action today, with Daniel Lynch pitching against the Rockies, and Michael Wacha making his KC debut against the Padres.
