We wait all year for matchups like this. The 4-1 Los Angeles Angels, 2nd in the Cactus League, head to Surprise Stadium to face the 5-1 Cactus League favorite Kansas City Royals.
It’s a clash of the titans.
Mike Mayers is on the mound for Kansas City, facing off against his former team and a squad that isn’t sending a single projected starter onto the diamond today. We will get to see former Royal and fun-haver Brett Phillips, who leads off for Los Angeles. He is hitless in his first eight Spring Training at-bats.
Royals starters, meanwhile, will get a decent chunk of at-bats.
