MESA, Ariz. (KSNT)- The Kansas City Royals will look to win and extend their Cactus League winning streak to three games on Tuesday.
On Monday, the Royals defeated the Cleveland Indians 8-6 in Goodyear, Ariz.
The non-roster invitees put up some big numbers in the victory on Monday.
Gardner, Kansas native, Bubba Starling, had three hits and Seuly Matias crushed a home run into the palm trees out in left field.
Kansas City will plug in a healthy amount of starters from the 2020 season mixed in with young prospects for Tuesday’s lineup. Mike Matheny also has stated that star (SS) Adalberto Mondesi took a baseball off his foot before exhibition play kicked off so he will not be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Kansas City will be the visitors on Tuesday at the Chicago Cubs spring training site at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. Jakob Junis will be on the mound for Kansas City while Adbert Alzolay is the starter for Chicago on Tuesday.
