One inning earlier, Conor Gillaspie homered with two outs for the Giants, who entered the day with a National League-high 31 homers.
San Francisco's power complemented the efforts of right-hander Cueto, whose six-inning stint was his longest of the Cactus League season. He also pitched six innings against Double-A hitters in a Minor League intrasquad game last Sunday. Cueto allowed Kansas City three runs and eight hits while walking none and striking out six.
