Zack Greinke hit hard in Cactus League return

Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke made his first Cactus League start since March 1 Monday night after dealing with a sore elbow. The right-hander allowed five runs on six hits with three walks and two strikeouts over three innings against the Royals.

Greinke, who has a 7.88 ERA in three spring starts, hopes to be ready to make his regular-season debut April 5 against the Pirates.
