Mariners, Royals tie 8-8 in spring debut without live broadcast

The game marked an unusual spring training experience as fans couldn't watch live, with only audio commentary available later in the evening. Seattle used ten pitchers while the Royals employed seven, with the majority of runs (12 of 16) coming after the fifth inning.

Bryan Woo impressed in his debut, throwing 28 pitches over 1.1 innings with 11 four-seamers, 7 sinkers, and a sweeper as his primary offspeed offering. The right-hander struck out two batters and didn't issue any walks, maintaining his normal velocity while focusing on his weekly work rather than trying new things in spring training.
