SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Troy Tulowitzki and Justin Morneau hit home runs on consecutive pitches in the first inning, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 6-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
Tulowitzki's liner off Royals rookie Aaron Brooks curled inside the left field foul pole. The two-run shot was the second of the spring for Tulowitzki, who also made a diving play at shortstop as he shows no ill-effects from season-ending hip surgery.
Morneau, the 2014 NL batting champ, sent Brooks' next pitch halfway up the grassy seating area in left center.
Christian Colon had a two-run single off Rockies starter Kyle Kendrick.
Rockies No. 1 starter Jorge De La Rosa made a pain-free spring debut in a morning "B'' game, giving up a double and striking out two in two scoreless innings. He had been out with a sore groin.
