Today was a beautiful, sunny day in Peoria and a rare televised spring training game here in Seattle, where it is gray and overcast, so of course the Mariners biffed it, losing to what I’d say is the Royals “B” lineup, except I just realized I’m not sure I could recognize the Royals’ A lineup vs. their B lineup. It was good to see long-tenured Royal Salvador Perez back out there, making a DH start as he continues to work his way back from TJ surgery last season.
The best part of the day from the Mariners’ POV was the three innings turned in by Marco Gonzales.
