VIDEO: Ryan O'Hearn Slams Home Run in Royals' Spring Training Opener
By Sean Facey
The Kansas City Royals have come out guns blazing in their first Spring Training game of the season. After jumping out to an early 2-0 lead over the Texas Rangers in the first inning, Ryan O'Hearn slugged a pinch-hit home run in the sixth inning off of reliever Taylor Guerrieri.

It's hard to imagine a better start to the year than a pinch-hit blast in the spring opener.
O'Hearn managed 14 home runs last year despite playing in just 105 games, and it seems like he's ready to unleash his power in 2020.
Unfortunately, KC's lead was short-lived, thanks to Rob Refsnyder of the Texas Rangers.
