The February 19 spring training game at Peoria Sports Complex was notable for its lack of live television coverage, forcing fans to rely on delayed radio broadcast. Seattle used ten pitchers while the Royals employed seven, with twelve of the game's sixteen runs scoring after the fifth inning.
Pitcher Bryan Woo made his first appearance of 2026, throwing 28 pitches in 1.1 innings with two strikeouts and no walks. After the game, Woo discussed his approach to spring training, emphasizing the importance of focusing on weekly work rather than getting caught up in trying new things.
