Ibanez, Kansas City clobber Cubs, 14-1

? Raul Ibanez drove in four runs and the Kansas City Royals routed the Chicago Cubs, 14-1, Tuesday.

Royals starter Darrell May left after throwing only three pitches because of tightness in his left thigh. The team said he came out only as a precaution.

Dee Brown and Mike Tonis hit back-to-back homers in the eighth off Joe Borowski.

Chicago starter Matt Clement worked four innings, giving up three hits and three runs — two earned. He walked three and struck out five.

Ibanez had a two-run triple in the third inning, an RBI single in the fifth and a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

Kris Wilson relieved May and worked four innings, giving up two hits and one run. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out two.

Mark Bellhorn hit his second home run in two days — and second of the spring — for the Cubs.

Kansas City scored four runs in the fourth against Matt Bruback, who didn’t retire a batter and gave up five straight hits before being pulled.
