In the last game of a four-game series in Seattle, the Royals took on the Mariners, hoping to come away with a split series. Kansas City needed a win, entering the game seven games behind .500 and fighting to stay in the playoff race. In a back-and-forth game that came down to the wire, the Royals were able to get away on a high note and came away with a big 3-2 win to even the series.
The Royals' offense got off to a slow start, not getting a single baserunner their first time through the order, and rookie Logan Evans breezed through the first three innings.
