Royals Post 5-2 Win Over Syracuse
Cincinnati beat Syracuse on the strength of starting pitcher Lee Morgan's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-2. Morgan, now 1-0, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Cincinnati is off to a hot start at 3-0.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Andrew Baltzley? The 26-year old center fielder Baltzley stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put Cincinnati up, 3-1. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron. "It's usually not just one thing."
