The Royals cruised to a 10-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Surprise Stadium on Tuesday night.
The game
The day off on Monday did not slow down the Royals' offensive production. They've now scored 74 runs and clubbed 25 homers in their last eight games.
Whit Merrifield stole the limelight Tuesday night, going 3 for 4 with a pair of home runs. His fifth-inning shot traveled 411 feet and scored two runs. Salvador Perez, Cheslor Cuthbert and Alcides Escobar also served up solo bombs.
In all, the Royals have hit 44 homers this spring, a number that has caught manager Ned Yost by surprise.
