The Kansas City Royals offense is in such a slump, they can’t win a game even when their pitchers allow only one hit. Unfortunately, Seattle Mariners right fielder Seth Smith slammed a solo home run off Kris Medlen in the sixth inning to put Seattle up 1-0.
Meanwhile, Seattle’s Felix Hernandez held the KC Royals scoreless over eight strong innings to earn the win.
In the ninth, Eric Hosmer opened the inning with a single, and stole second after Kendrys Morales struck out.
