Skoglund to make 2nd start in Toronto opener
(MLB.com Kansas City Royals)

The Royals open a three-game series in Toronto on Monday at 6:07 p.m. CT. Left-hander Eric Skoglund (0-1, 9.64 ERA) will start for the Royals and be opposed by lefty Jaime Garcia (1-0, 3.18). Skoglund`s season debut came after a 23-day layoff due to off-days and postponements. He allowed 5 runs over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Mariners, but he liked the action on his pitches and is optimistic about having a better result.
