Mariners series preview: The battle of two phenoms

The Royals continue their west coast trip with a visit to the Pacific Northwest to face the Seattle Mariners. The series will feature two of the most dynamic young players in the game, both in their second MLB season - Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez.

The M’s have won 24 of their last 32 games to pull within one game of first place Texas, tied with the Astros for the #2 Wild Card spot. Part of that hot streak includes a trip to Kansas City two weeks ago where they took three out of four, although every game in the series was close.
