Sammy Sosa hit his first home run of spring training and the Rangers beat the Royals 5-0 on Sunday.
Sosa, who has 588 career homers, drove a 1-1 pitch from Luke Hudson over the left-center fence to lead off the second inning. It was Sosa's first home run since Aug. 4, 2005, when he was with the Orioles.
Sosa did not play last season and signed a minor league contract with the Rangers during the offseason.
"It was good to get the first one out of the way," Sosa said. "That was huge for me. Everyone wanted me to do that."
