Royals Top Cubs, 10-0
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Chris Young pitched four scoreless innings and Christian Colon snapped a 0-for-23 skid with his first two hits as the Kansas City Royals topped the Chicago Cubs, 10-0, on Wednesday.
Young, who pitched out of a bases-loaded one-out jam in the fourth, allowed two hits, walked two and struck out five.
Colon, who had not had a hit since his RBI single in the 12th inning of Game 5 of the World Series, doubled in the fifth and singled in the seventh.
Reymond Fuentes, who is trying to earn a job as a spare outfielder, hit a three-run homer in the seventh and drove in Colon with a fifth inning single. Dusty Coleman hit a two-run homer in the eighth.
Cubs right-hander John Lackey allowed two runs on six hits over five innings, walking none and striking out four.
