Young was on the hook for eight runs -- only five were earned -- and nine hits with four strikeouts. He had given up just one earned run over his last two starts, spanning 8 1/3 innings.
Graveman fared much better in his sixth spring appearance. After yielding four runs and eight hits in his last start against the Angels, the right-hander limited the Royals to four hits, including a solo home run to Tony Cruz in the seventh. He walked one and fanned six.
The Royals committed four errors, while the A's had three, bringing their spring total to a Major League-leading 41.
