The Dodgers defeated the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, at Surprise Stadium on Sunday in the first half of split-squad, day-night doubleheader.
ON THE MOUND: Clayton Kershaw’s hitless and scoreless streak in the exhibition season came to an end on a first-inning home run by Mike Moustakas. The run was the only one allowed by Kershaw in four innings, the most he has pitched so far in the Cactus League. Kershaw struck out four. He walked one and allowed two hits, counting Moustakas’ homer.
AT THE PLATE: Justin Turner doubled in two runs in a four-run second inning for the Dodgers.
