Royals Win, Cardinals Idle

Kansas City Royals right-handed pitching prospect Jackson Kowar threw his second scoreless outing of Cactus League play Sunday.

Kowar pitched three scoreless innings, allowed three hits and struck out two in the Royals’ 6-1 win over the Colorado Rockies at Surprise Stadium in Arizona. Jorge Soler clobbered a 484-foot home run, while Ryan O’Hearn and Jarrod Dyson each belted triples for the Royals (13-6-2).
