Jeff Francoeur went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI as the Royals edged the Rangers, 7-5, in spring training.
Salvador Perez had three hits and scored twice for Kansas City, which saw starter Luis Mendoza last four innings and give up one run on four hits.
Matt Harrison survived just one inning in his start for Texas and was tagged for four runs on six hits. Leury Garcia homered and drove in three in the loss.
Game Notes
A.J. Burnett tries to put the brakes on a personal two-game losing streak Saturday when the Pittsburgh Pirates continue a three-game series against the Houston Astros at PNC Park.
The Detroit Tigers already had lost five games this season in which they led in the seventh inning or later.
The Milwaukee Brewers, in their present form, are still far from a well-oiled machine.
