Mat Latos labored through three innings in his final tune-up start, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk against the Royals. Latos did record five strikeouts, but two of the nine base knocks he gave up went over the fence. Most importantly, though, is that his ankle wasn't an issue. Latos finishes Cactus League play with a 5.49 ERA, but he punched out 21 batters over 19 2/3 frames.
