SURPRISE, AZ - Brian McFall and Brian Buchanan each homered during a four-run third inning, helping the Omaha Royals to an 8-4 victory over the Tacoma Rainiers Sunday in Surprise, Arizona. The win boosted the Royals Cactus League record to 2-1.

Omaha led 2-1 entering the home half of the third, when McFall led off with a home run for his first of two hits in the contest. One out later, Dave Matranga doubled and scored when Marc Maddox followed with a single. Buchanan capped the outburst with a two-run blast.

Right-hander Devon Lowery got the start for the Royals and allowed just one run on two hits over four innings, walking three and striking out three. Lefty Jason Cromer - a native of Des Moines, Iowa - followed with three scoreless stanzas, giving up three hits but no walks, while fanning two.

The same two teams meet on Monday, when the Royals visit the Seattle Mariners Spring Training facility in Peoria, Arizona.

The Royals 2008 season opener is set for Rosenblatt Stadium on Thursday, April 3rd at 7:05 p.m. vs. the Albuquerque Isotopes. For tickets, call the Royals ticket office at (402) 738-5100, or order and print tickets online at www.oroyals.com and at www.Etix.com.
