SEATTLE (AP) --- Vinnie Pasquantino scored the go-ahead run in a three-run
fourth inning and the Kansas City Royals held the Seattle Mariners to just four
hits for a 4-1 win on Sunday.
Kris Bubic (3-1) pitched seven innings, allowing four hits, one earned run and
striking out seven to finish off a three-game sweep.
Seattle's only run came in the third when Leo Rivas scored on a fielder's
choice groundball from Josh Naylor.
Mariners starter Luis Castillo (0-3) walked Carter Jensen with the bases loaded
to tie the game. Jac Caglianone followed with a grounder to Naylor, who got the
force out at second but Pasquantino scored to make it a 2-1 game.
Isaac Collins then hit a fly ball to center field to score Salvador Perez from
third, as Perez barely beat the throw home by Julio Rodrguez. Home plate
umpire Clint Vondrak initially called Perez out, but the call was overturned
and the Royals pushed their lead to two runs.
Collins drove in Caglianone with an RBI double in the sixth to make it 4-1.
In six innings, Castillo gave up four earned runs on six hits and two walks
with five strikeouts. Nick Davila pitched the ninth in his MLB debut.
Daniel Lynch IV struck out three in 1 1/3 innings for his first save of the
season.
Up next
Seattle: RHP Logan Gilbert (1-3, 4.03 ERA) will pitch Monday at home against
Atlanta.
Kansas City: Michael Wacha (2-2, 3.13 ERA) will get the start at home against
Cleveland.
