Up next: Giants left-hander Barry Zito (0-2, 22.09) will attempt to do something about his spring ERA when he makes his third start, this one against the Royals in Surprise, Ariz., on Monday. The Royals counter with right-hander Joakim Soria (1-0, 6.75). Zito has allowed nine runs on nine hits in his first 3 2/3 innings.
