SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Right-hander Yordano Ventura struck out six batters in four innings while allowing one run in the Royals' 9-3 win over the White Sox on Monday in a Cactus League matchup at Surprise Stadium.
Ventura threw 62 pitches, 46 for strikes. He struck out the side in the first inning. After his previous start, Ventura said he would work on his curveball the next time out.
"I was trying to work on it early in the count and then also for strikeouts," Ventura said. "It's good to have a feel for all your pitches right now.
