Mariners 12, Royals 2 Box »

Stefen Romero (SEA No. 12): The 24-year-old second baseman had a good day going after smacking a grand slam in the fourth inning. Then he went deep again, tacking on a three-run blast in the ninth. Romero finished 4-for-5 with seven RBIs in the Mariners' rout of the Royals. The Arizona native had drove in only one run in six Cactus League games entering Thursday.

Early-Afternoon Games

Twins (SS) 10, Phillies 6 Box »

Aaron Hicks (MIN No. 6): Leading off and playing center field, MLB.com's No. 98 prospect homered in the first inning off veteran Phils ace Cliff Lee, but he was far from done. Hicks would add a solo shot in the fifth and a two-run blast in the seventh before smacking a two-run single and stealing a base in the eighth. The 2008 first-round draftee, a contender for an Opening Day roster spot in Minnesota, has not recorded a multi-homer game or recorded six RBIs in one game in five Minor League seasons. He did register a five-hit day last July.
