Mariners, Royals tie 8-8 in audio-only spring game

The Seattle Mariners and Kansas City Royals played to an 8-8 tie in a Cactus League game that was only available via radio commentary with limited video.

The Mariners and Royals concluded their spring training contest with an 8-8 tie, a game notable for its limited broadcast availability. For the first time this spring, fans could only follow along through Rick Rizzs, Gary Hill Jr., and Charlie Furbush's radio commentary, with minimal video coverage available on social media platforms.

Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo made his first spring outing, throwing 1.1 innings with 28 pitches. The game featured multiple pitchers and was largely dominated by non-roster players and backups, with twelve of the sixteen runs scoring after the fifth inning.
