Royals vs. Athletics Friday gamethread

The Royals continue the exhibition schedule this afternoon against the nomadic Athletics of Oakland, maybe soon-to-be Las Vegas? Cole Ragans takes the hill today to continue what has been an impressive run for Royals starting pitchers so far. It’s just spring training, but the five pitchers who project to be starters for the Royals have combined for nine shutout innings with 14 strikeouts and just two walks.
