Royals magic not enough as they fall in ten innings 6-5

The Royals battled to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth, and even staged another comeback in the tenth, but their comeback magic fell short as they to the Mariners 6-5 on Sunday afternoon.

For the second time in the series, J.P. Crawford led off the game with a home run, this time off Cole Ragans. The Royals had a chance to tie in the bottom to the first when Vinnie Pasquantino tripled with two outs, but Salvador Perez struck out looking to end the inning. The Royals did get on the board off Mariners starter George Kirby in the fifth.
