KANSAS CITY -- Marco Gonzales never found his command. The Mariners never found their offense. And it added up to a frustrating 10-0 defeat Monday as Seattle stumbled to its worst loss of the young season on a chilly night at Kauffman Stadium.
Young Royals right-hander Jakob Junis continued his sterling start with seven innings of one-hit ball, with Mariners rookie Daniel Vogelbach finally breaking up a no-hit bid on an infield single one out into the seventh.
The 25-year-old Junis held Seattle to one run over eight innings on a much warmer August afternoon last season as a rookie, and he continued his mastery of the Mariners with another gem on a 42-degree night made further uncomfortable by a steady wind.
