SEATTLE (AP) --- Lane Thomas hit the go-ahead RBI single in the eighth, Vinnie
Pasquantino homered in his return to the starting lineup, and the Kansas City
Royals beat the Seattle Mariners 7-6 on Friday night.
Salvador Perez had two doubles with two RBIs, and Jac Caglianone hit his third
homer of the season for the Royals. Lucas Erceg worked a scoreless ninth for
his eighth save of the season.
Julio Rodrguez knocked in four runs with two of Seattle's four home runs. He
tied the game at 6-6 in the sixth with a 416-foot homer off Dylan Lynch (1-0).
Kansas City scored four runs in the first including four straight hits off
starter Bryan Woo. Pasquantino and Isaac Collins each drove in a run, and Perez
scored two with a double down the left-field line.
Cole Ragans allowed four runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings while striking out
eight.
After allowing four early runs, Woo proceeded to retire 13 straight before
surrendering back-to-back homers to Pasquantino and Caglianone. Woo pitched six
innings, yielding six runs on seven hits.
After Perez led off the eighth with a double to left, Thomas, pinch hitting for
Caglianone, hit a soft single into center off Jose Ferrer (0-1) to regain the
lead.
Connor Joe and Randy Arozarena each hit solo home runs for Seattle.
