Luis Mendoza allowed six runs -- four earned -- on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings in the Royals loss to the Brewers. The outing raised Mendoza's spring ERA to a still-pristine 2.70, so it was just a small bump in the road for the 29-year-old. Mendoza was recently assured of the fifth spot in the Royals rotation. He's not someone to get too excited about, but he offers some upside late in AL-only leagues.
