Rangers, Royal waste no time tying in scoreless finale

Thanks, guys! The Rangers and Royals flew their spring finale at Surprise Stadium, combining for nine hits and finishing in a 0-0 nine-inning tie in two hours, 11 minutes.

The Rangers finished the Cactus League at 15-16-2. The Royals finished 17-13-2.

How the Rangers pitchers fared: Dillon Gee held the Royals without a hit through 5 2/3 innings before Whit Merriefield singled to right. He went six innings, allowing two hits, no walks and striking out nine.

Dario Alvarez, a strong candidate to earn a bullpen spot, struck out two and allowed a hit in a scoreless seventh.
