Vinnie Pasquantino added two hits in five at-bats and scored once.<\/p>\n<p>The Mariners took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Leo Rivas, the No. 9 hitter in the lineup, drew a leadoff walk and went from first to third on a hit-and-run as Julio Rodriguez grounded a one-out single to left field. Rivas scored as Josh Naylor grounded into a fielder\u2019s choice to first.<\/p>\n<p>The Royals responded with three runs in the fourth off Seattle starter Luis Castillo (0-3).<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Witt Jr. lined a single to center, Pasquantino lined a single to right and Salvador Perez was hit on the left forearm by a pitch, loading the bases with no outs. Carter Jensen walked on a 3-2 pitch to force in the first run and Jac Caglianone grounded into a force-out to score the go-ahead run.<\/p>\n<p>Collins flew out to center and the slow-footed Perez tagged at third and tried to score. Perez was initially ruled out by home-plate umpire Clint Vondrak, but the Royals challenged the call and a video review determined Perez got his hand on the plate just before the tag from catcher Jhonny Pereda.<\/p>\n<p>The Royals tacked on a run in the sixth as Caglianone drew a two-out walk and scored on Collins\u2019 double to center.<\/p>\n<p>Castillo allowed four runs on six hits over six innings. The right-hander walked two and fanned five.<\/p>\n<p>Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh sat out a second consecutive game with discomfort in his right side.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t<\/footer>\n<p><!-- #entry-meta -->\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.southernsportstoday.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kris Bubic pitched seven strong innings as the Kansas City Royals defeated the host Seattle Mariners 4-1 Sunday afternoon.
