The Dodgers defeated the Kansas City Royals 6-4, their second win of the spring. Andre Ethier hit a three-run home run, and Casey Blake had a two-run shot. Brad Ausmus had the sixth RBI. Reed Johnson and Rafael Furcal both scored a run. James McDonald threw two innings of scoreless ball before giving up three runs in the third. Russ Ortiz had three scoreless innings of work, and Ramon Troncoso had a perfect frame.
Brian Giles could not handle the pain in his arthritic knee, and decided to retire. The Dodgers signed Giles to compete for a left-handed role off the bench. The outfielder was a two-time All Star with a career .400 OBP.
Joe Torre, Manny Ramirez, James Loney, and many others reached Taiwan, where they were given a very friendly greeting. The Dodgers will begin playing an exhibition series tomorrow at two in the morning.
Clayton Kershaw will get the start for tomorrow. Eric Stults will start the game in Taipei.
