The loss left the Cincinnati Reds with their worst start since 1955, when they also opened 2-10. The Cardinals homered a season-high four times while piling up a season high in runs. The Reds have the worst mark in the majors at 2-10.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit a bases-loaded triple in a five-run seventh inning to help the streaking Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 7-1 for their fifth straight victory.

Byers’ first task was to lose 45 pounds so he could fit into his team-issued golf pants. His goal this spring is to make the starting lineup as one of Bellevue’s top five players.
