*-Since start of Houston series (7 games) Royals Notes - Kansas City Royals @ Seattle Mariners - Saturday, June 30, 2018

This & That HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MITCH--First-year, first base is celebrating his 36th birthday today...a first-round pick of the Royals in 2003 and the only University of Toledo player ever chosen in the first round, had a six-year big league career with the Royals before moving into the coaching ranks...Mitch shares his birthdate with such luminaries as Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps (33), country singer Cole Swindell (35), boxer Mike Tyson (52) and baseball brethren Chan Ho Park (45), Trea Turner (25), Garret Anderson (46) and former Royal teammate Mark Grudzielanek (47). KENNEDY DROUGHT CONTINUES--He only gave up three hits last night, but two left the premises and were enough to extend Ian Kennedy’s winless streak to 15 consecutive starts...Kennedy’s last victory was in his second start of 2018, a 1-0 triumph on April 7 in Cleveland...since that affair, he has gone 0-8 in 15 starts with a 5.76 ERA (51 earned runs in 79.2 innings)...he retired the first 10 Mariners faced last night, but then an infield single was followed by a Mitch Haniger home run to center, then in the fifth, Mike Zunino clubbed a no-doubter to the seats in left...the dry spell ties Oakland’s Chris Bassitt for the longest of the season, with Bassitt halting his on Wednesday vs. Detroit. SUPER DUPER EARNS WALK-OFF WIN--Kansas City replay review guru Bill Duplissea closed out Wednesday’s win in Milwaukee with his first walk-off replay victory, apprising the bench that Ryan Braun was in fact out on the back end of a double play...once the call fell into the hands of the New York crew, it was determined that the 27th out did occur and the Royals walked off the field with a 5-4 win...the decision upped Dupe’s Major League leading replay mark to 19-for-23 for an 82.6% success rate, which is way ahead of any other big league club based on the numbers from MLB on Wednesday, with the Yankees next at 73.9% (17-for-23)...Dupe has made good on 68% of his challenges in his career (118-for-174), which ranks among the best, including a Major League best 72.4% success rate over the last three seasons (71-for-98). CUTHBERT STARTS REHAB--Infielder , out since May 16 with a low back strain, returned to action last night, playing third base for Omaha (AAA), going 0-for-2 with a walk and run scored...the 25-year-old appeared in 30 games for KC, hitting .194 (20-for-103) before being sidelined with the injury...he trained in Arizona for several days with the extended spring club before reporting to his rehab assignment.

WHERE’S WHIT???--Kansas City utility man extraordinaire Whit Merrifield was back in center field last night, while also contributing a pair of hits...now in his third big league season, Merrifield’s name is likely to be somewhere near the top of the batting order when healthy, but where he’ll play on a given day could be virtually anywhere on the diamond...since June 1 alone, he has started at second base (10 games), in center field (7 times), right field (3 times), at first base (twice) and as the DH (twice)...on the year, he’s played four different defensive positions, including his normal location of second base (51 games), center field (12 games), first base (5 games) and right field (8 games)...he has played left field and third base in previous seasons, while also DH’ing five times this year.

WESTWORLD--Kansas City’s month of June has been dominated with play against Western Division opponents, with tonight the 22nd straight game vs. the West when playing an American League club...the lone break in that stretch was an 0-2 set at home against Cincinnati and a just completed 1-1 visit to Milwaukee...tomorrow will cap a 23-game stretch vs. A.L. West opposition, with the Royals 4-17 in this span in June and 7-24 on the year...Kansas City is 12-14 within the AL Central, including an 8-4 record in its last 12 intradivision contests...after Sunday’s road trip finale in Seattle, KC will play 15 of its next 18 games against familiar foes from the Central, save a three- game set at home against Boston...the Royals have gone just 3-12 vs. the East...KC’s work against the National League is 3-6, with the NL Central the focus this season. ESKY’S STREAK CONTINUES--Alcides Escobar made his Major League leading 414th consecutive start last night, returning to his familiar location at shortstop...he had his club record starting streak at shortstop halted at 407 when he worked in center field to open this extended road trip in Houston on June 22, with his second career outfield start, first-ever in center...the 31-year-old’s only other outfield start was on August 9, 2010 (yes, 8-9-10) in Miller Park when he played all 10 innings of a 7-4 loss to Arizona...he had also accrued seven other assorted outfield innings during the 2010 season in left, center and right...since that 10-inning game on August 9, 2010, Escobar had played 1,217 games at short, starting 1,212 of those, prior to last the June 22 start in center...as for Esky’s work at short, his 407 consecutive starts were the most at shortstop since Cal Ripken Jr. (2,216), while his streak of now 414 starts at any position continues to be the longest since Miguel Tejada (558) from 2004-07. OMAHA IN KC’S FUTURE--Commissioner Rob Manfred was in Omaha on June 21 to announce that the Royals and Detroit Tigers will play a regular season game in TD Ameritrade Park next June 13 to celebrate the start of the 2019 College World Series...the announcement made in conjunction with the NCAA, was attended by Royals General Manager Dayton Moore, his counterpart with the Tigers, Al Avila, Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert, the President/CEO of the Gary Green and was emceed by ESPN’s Karl Ravech...the game will be the completion of a three-game home series for the Royals where the June 11-12 games will be played in Kauffman Stadium before taking the finale to Omaha...ESPN will televise the prime-time contest nationally. KC’S TOP SKIPPER--The winningest manager in franchise history, recorded his 1,100th career win on May 18 vs. the Yankees and has since upped that career total to 1,111, which is good for seventh on the all-time list among active skippers, while Detroit’s Ron Gardenhire is next in the eighth spot with 1,104 career wins...Ned has a 654-688 regular season record at the helm for the Royals, blowing past Whitey Herzog’s previous team mark of 410 wins (1975-79)...Yost is the 16th full-time manager in franchise history and is sixth among active managers in games (2,301)...his postseason winning pct. of .710 (22-9) is tops among all managers in history who have worked at least 20 playoff games...this is his second stint as a big league manager after nearly six full campaigns at the helm for the (2003-2008)...he compiled a 457-502 record with the Brew Crew including a 166-146 mark in his last two seasons...Yost, a catcher during his playing days, began his coaching career in the Atlanta organization, including 12 straight seasons on Bobby Cox’s big league staff (1991-2002).
