Royals 10, Rockies 2 Sunday at Salt River Fields On the mound: Kyle Freeland, after officially being named the Opening Day starter, posted a poor line, but he didn’t pitch that badly.

The good news is that he threw 76 pitches, 52 for strikes. … Right-hander Jake Bird, a possible long reliever, pitched 1 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on two hits. Bird has a…

More than an investor, he was a philosopher. His insatiable curiosity and grounded wisdom shaped both his business and entire life approach. Munger sought to live in…
