Author’s note: I started typing this recap in the ninth inning and stopped paying attention to the game, but I assume we put Paxton out there to close it out against the aggressive Royals hitters and he got Kendrys Morales to hit into a triple play to end the game.
Hello! Tonight it is my great pleasure to recap for you this contest between the Seattle Mariners and the Kansas City Royals. The Mariners are angling to break a three-game losing streak after being swept by the Astros and, more troublingly, a nine-game road losing streak, while the Royals are attempting to stop a four-game skid.
