Through 4 and half innings, the Royals looked like they were bound for a disappointing, low scoring loss, which many fans have been accustomed to this season. But Michael Massey<\/a> battled back from a 1-2 count to earn a walk to start the bottom half of the 5th. Kyle Isbel<\/a> bunted on a 2-2 pitch, Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo<\/a> fielded and wildly threw it away down the line, 2nd and 3rd nobody out with the top of the order coming up.<\/p>\n

Woo did get two unproductive outs from Maikel Garcia<\/a> and Bobby Witt Jr.<\/a>, but after falling behind 2-0 to Vinnie Pasquantino<\/a>, the Mariners decided to intentionally walk him. On the first pitch, Salvador Perez smashed a two-run single into left to put the Royals in front, 2-1.<\/p>\n

Carter Jensen<\/a> smacked a high fly ball to deep left, that just keep carrying, and went off the top of the wall, scoring 2 more runs, Royals up 4-1, and at the same time, forcing Woo out of the game.<\/p>\n

\n

Isaac Collins<\/a> led off the 6th inning with a double and came around to score on an Isbel sacrifice fly, putting the Royals up 5-1. Seth Lugo<\/a> was really good today, going 6.1 innings, giving up 6 hits, 3 runs, walking 2 and striking out 3. Outside of a solo homer to Julio Rodr\u00edguez<\/a>, Lugo was efficient and rather untouchable until the 7th. After three straight hits, Daniel Lynch IV<\/a> replaced Lugo, allowing an inherited runner to score, but retired the next two hitters, 5-3 going to the bottom of the 7th.<\/p>\n

Pasquantino hit a one out double, and came around to score on Perez\u2019s third hit of the day, and his third run batted in. 6-3 KC.<\/p>\n

\n

John Schreiber<\/a> worked a scoreless 8th inning, allowing just a two out single. The Royals tacked on two more in the bottom of the 8th, on a two out single from Garcia.<\/p>\n

\n

Lucas Erceg<\/a> made his first appearance since last Sunday, and it was a mixed bag. Erceg got two quick outs with a double mixed in. A bloop single, some defensive indifferences and a couple more hits, and it was 8-6 with the tying run at the plate, but Erceg buckled down, getting a groundout to Salvy to end the game. The concerning thing is Erceg threw 32 pitches, his availability for the next couple days will be something to monitor.<\/p>\n
