The former Cy Young runner-up allowed three runs and six hits and two walks in winning for the first time since his March 29 season debut.<\/p>\n<p>Carter Jensen and Maikel Garcia also had two RBIs apiece as the Royals won consecutive games for the first time since May 9-10.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas Erceg allowed three runs in the ninth in a non-save situation before finishing out the game.<\/p>\n<p>Woo (4-3) allowed four runs and six hits and two walks in 4 2\/3 innings. He\u2019d allowed just two runs over his previous 18 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Royals starters came into the game on a 19-inning scoreless streak, and Lugo promptly retired leadoff man J.P. Crawford. But on his second pitch to Rodriguez, the Mariners slugger sent an 89-mph sinker into the left-field bullpen to give Seattle a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>It was still that way until the fifth inning, when Woo walked Michael Massey and gave up a two-strike bunt single to Kyle Isbel. Woo bounced back to retire the next two batters, then chose to intentionally walk Vinnie Pasquantino and load the bases.<\/p>\n<p>Perez, who has been struggling throughout the season, slapped a two-run single through the left side of the infield to give Kansas City the lead. Jensen followed with a two-run double to make it 4-1 and knock Woo from the game.<\/p>\n<p>The Royals added a run apiece in the sixth and seventh innings and two more in the eighth to put the game away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Up next<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"CommentCallToAction_callToActionContainer__5zDeB \" data-testid=\"comments-call-to-action\" id=\"js-CommentCallToAction-Container\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" height=\"23px\" id=\"Layer_1\" version=\"1.1\" viewbox=\"0 0 42 35.9\" width=\"26px\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><title>Comment with Bubbles<\/title><g id=\"Page-1\"><g id=\"L-_x7C_-Story-Detail---Commenting\" transform=\"translate(-214.000000, -907.000000)\"><g id=\"Group\" transform=\"translate(215.000000, 908.000000)\"><path clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M7.3,28.7c-2.1,0-3.8-0.5-5.2-1.6C0.7,26,0,24.6,0,23V6.2c0-1.6,0.7-3,2.1-4.1     C3.5,1,5.3,0.4,7.3,0.4h25.4c2.1,0,3.8,0.6,5.2,1.7C39.3,3.2,40,4.6,40,6.2V23c0,1.6-0.7,3-2.1,4.1c-1.4,1.1-3.1,1.6-5.2,1.6     h-0.4v5.1c-5.1-2.9-7.8-4.5-8.3-4.7c-0.4-0.3-1.1-0.4-2-0.4H7.3z\" fill=\"#FFFFFF\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" id=\"sbg-comment\" stroke=\"#121212\"\/><\/g><\/g><\/g><g><path d=\"M15,17.7c0-0.7,0.5-1.2,1.1-1.2c0.7,0,1.1,0.5,1.1,1.2c0,0.7-0.4,1.2-1.1,1.2C15.5,18.9,15,18.3,15,17.7z\"\/><path d=\"M20.4,17.7c0-0.7,0.5-1.2,1.1-1.2c0.7,0,1.1,0.5,1.1,1.2c0,0.7-0.4,1.2-1.1,1.2C20.9,18.9,20.4,18.3,20.4,17.7z\"\/><path d=\"M25.8,17.7c0-0.7,0.5-1.2,1.1-1.2c0.7,0,1.1,0.5,1.1,1.2c0,0.7-0.4,1.2-1.1,1.2C26.2,18.9,25.8,18.3,25.8,17.7z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/p>\n<p>JOIN THE CONVERSATION (9)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Mariners head to California to face the A\u2019s on Monday night with RHP Emerson Hancock (3-2, 3.07 ERA) getting the start.
