Lillis lauds versatile NL pitcher as spring solidifies his role
National League pitcher Lillis praised a versatile arm who has worked hard to earn a place and now appears set to stay. Astros rally from a 3-1 deficit with singles from Bass, Spilman, Garner, and Bailey to knot the score. George Brett, at 32, shows age is only a number as he powers Kansas City past Texas with a homer and a single, citing a strong off season conditioning program that shaved 20 pounds. He hopes to recapture 1980 form as KC sits atop the AL West.
