THE GAME: The Dodgers had a pair of three-run innings and eight pitchers gave up just three hits total, as they earned a 6-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz.<\/p>\n
PITCHING REPORT: Left-hander Jackson Ferris did not make his scheduled start because of adductor soreness. \u2026 Right-hander Ryder Ryan did not allow a hit over two innings with two walks and one strikeout, leaving him with a 2.57 ERA in seven Cactus League innings. Ryan made 15 of his 16 career major league appearances with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2024. \u2026 Right-hander Will Klein and left-hander Tanner Scott each had two strikeouts in a scoreless inning. Scott now has five strikeouts over three scoreless innings. \u2026 Edgardo Henriquez had a scoreless inning after allowing six earned runs in his first two innings of the spring.<\/p>\n
HITTING REPORT: Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernandez all drove in runs in the first inning as the Dodgers opened the game with four consecutive hits. \u2026 Miguel Rojas had hits in each of his first three at-bats out of the leadoff spot. \u2026 Freeman went 2 for 3 with three RBIs. \u2026 James Tibbs III, who was acquired from the Boston Red Sox in last season\u2019s Dustin May trade, had two more hits and is now 9 for 27 (.333) in 12 Cactus League games.<\/p>\n
DEFENSIVE REPORT: Second baseman Alex Freeland booted a ground ball by Peyton Wilson for a third-inning error. \u2026 Hernandez fought off the setting sun to catch a line drive in left field by Kameron Misner to open the game. \u2026 Second baseman Ryan Fitzgerald made a sliding stop on a ground ball from Jack Pineda in the eighth inning and threw to first for the out.<\/p>\n
