Note: Ben recapped the first part of this game, where the Mariners were winning. As soon as Kate took over, they started losing. I, Kate, deeply regret this.
Mike Leake, making his second appearance of the spring, continued his efforts to fortify the M’s rotation by tossing three scoreless innings, scattering three hits while striking out four. Leake was peppering the strike zone all day long, throwing 30 of his 37 pitches for strikes, and throwing first pitch strikes to eight of 11 Royals hitters.
