Surprise, Ariz. ? Hideo Nomo got a spring-training win in his quest to earn a a job with the Kansas City Royals. San Francisco’s Barry Zito was hit hard again.

The 39-year-old Nomo, who has not pitched in the major leagues since 2005, allowed two runs in three innings during Monday’s 15-6 victory over the Giants.

Nomo, the winningest Japanese pitcher in major-league history with 123 victories, gave up four hits, struck out one and walked none. He did not pitch last season following elbow surgery in 2006.

Eugenio Velez tripled with one out and scored on Randy Winn’s double. Rich Aurilia’s single scored Winn, but Nomo gave up just one hit after that.

“My split-finger didn’t go the way I wanted it to go,” Nomo said through an interpreter. “I haven’t checked on my (fastball) speed. I do not care about the speed.”
