Giants Dominate Royals 7-3 in Spring Training Showdown

On March 8, 2025, the San Francisco Giants showcased their offensive and pitching prowess in a 7-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals during a spring training game at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Giants’ lineup erupted with power, led by Matt Chapman and Mike Yastrzemski, who both launched home runs off Royals starter Michael Wacha. Chapman and Yastrzemski combined for five RBIs, providing the bulk of the afternoon’s scoring. Keaton Winn earned the win, delivering a strong performance with two scoreless innings, allowing just one walk while striking out one, further solidifying his case for a role in the Giants’ plans.

The Royals struggled to keep pace, managing only three runs against a Giants pitching staff that kept them in check for most of the game. Michael Wacha took the loss after surrendering the early homers, while Kansas City’s offense couldn’t capitalize against San Francisco’s arms. The Giants’ bullpen, including standouts Ryan Walker and Erik Miller, maintained control, with only non-roster invitee Justin Garza faltering by allowing three runs in the ninth. This win improved the Giants’ spring record to 8-3, offering a promising sign of their potential as they gear up for the regular season.
