Sun Mar 10 201900:20Harper walks twice in Phils debut, draws 4-man outfield
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Bryce Harper drew big cheers, a pair of walks and a most unusual defense in his spring training debut for the Philadelphia Phillies.Both times the slugger with the biggest contract in baseball came to the plate, the Toronto Blue Jays shifted to a four-man outfield, moved the shortstop on the other side of second base and gave the left-handed hitting Harper a wide-open left side of the infield."I've never seen that. That's intense," Harper said, adding he hopes teams don't do that to him often. "If they start playing ball like that, it's definitely different."Phillies manager Gabe Kapler didn't want to discuss shift strategy but shared his advice for Harper."Hit a lot of homers, drive the ball like you're capable of, do exactly what you always do, be Bryce Harper," Kapler said.Harper drew a loud ovation when he walked up to the plate to Will Smith's theme song from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air."Wearing No. 3 on his uniform, eye black under his eyes and a white armband...

Fri Feb 15 201917:51Royals add veteran reliever Storen to compete in bullpen
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals agreed with reliever Drew Storen on a minor league contract Friday that includes an invitation to big league spring training.Storen would have a $1.25 million salary in the major leagues if he is added to the 40-man roster, and he would have the chance to earn additional performance bonuses.The right-hander missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery in December 2017, but he'd been effective throughout his career. The 31-year-old is 29-18 with a 3.45 ERA over 470 appearances with the Washington Nationals, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds.His best season came in 2011, when he was 6-3 with a 2.75 ERA and 43 saves for Washington. Storen was 4-2 with a 4.45 ERA in 58 appearances for Cincinnati during the 2017 season.The Royals have been stockpiling low-risk, high-reward relievers as they attempt to rebuild one of the majors' worst bullpens. They also signed left-hander Jake Diekman this week.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

RHP Drew Storen will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the remainder of this season and possibly all of 2018."He found a way to be competitive and stay on the field," Reds manager Bryan Price said.

RHP Drew Storen didn't endear himself to the New York Yankees when he hit three of their batters in the seventh inning on Monday night, including Chase Headley, who had to leave the game with a sore tibia. Everyone agreed there was no intent, but the Yankees weren't pleased. Storen hit two batters in his first 14 innings this season. "Wildness has not been an issue for him," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "Those were just three pitches that didn't go where he wanted them to go. That was unique.

RHP Drew Storen entered Tuesday with the result already in hand. Despite a 9-3 lead in a non-save situation, Storen mowed through three straight batters, striking out Jonathan Schoop, J.J. Hardy and Hyun Soo Kim on nine pitches. Storen is just the fourth pitcher in Reds history to accomplish that feat, first since Carlos Contreras on July 11, 2014, vs. Pittsburgh. "Honestly, after the second hitter, I knew I had a chance," Storen said. "That's like a perfect game for a bullpen guy. I had no idea how rare it was. That only three other guys have done it with the Reds makes it pretty special."
