Rockies 4, Royals 2

Tuesday at Salt River Fields On the mound: Right-hander Cal Quantrill scuffled in his second start this spring, allowing two runs on seven hits, one walk and zero strikeouts over four innings. He has a 4.50ERA in six innings of Cactus League action. The bullpen put up its second straight scoreless outing, with LHP Evan Justice, RHP John Curtiss, RHP Tyler Kinley, RHP Justin Lawrence and RHP Geoff Hartlieb each going one inning. Justice (52/3 IP) and Kinley (5 IP) have yet to allow a run this spring.

At the plate: Infielder Brendan Rodgers (2 for 3, double) and center fielder Brenton Doyle (1 for 3) each had productive days. Rogers is now hitting .385 (10 for 26) and Doyle .370 (10 for 27) this spring. Coco Montes smashed a two-run homer, his first of the spring, in the bottom of the second, and fellow non-roster invitee Bradley

Zimmer recorded a hit in his lone at-bat to move to .429 (12-for-28) in 13 spring games. The Rockies have a .281team batting average (second-best in all of baseball) and 11-6-1 record in Cactus League play.

Prospect watch: Righthander reliever Riley Pint, who has still only pitched one-third of an inning in the majors, had a solid camp but was optioned to Triple-a Albuquerque Tuesday, along with infielder Julio Carreras, infielder/outfielder Hunter Goodman and right-hander Gavin Hollowell. Also, catcher Braxton Fulford and outfielder Jordan Beck were reassigned to minor league camp. The Rockies have 42 active players remaining in major league camp, 12 nonroster players.

Up Next: Rockies at Dbacks, 1:10p.m. Wednesday

Rockies probable pitchers: RHP Tanner Gordon, LHP Carson Palmquist, RHP Jaden Hill, RHP Matt Koch, LHP Ty Blach.
