Royals vs. Mariners HITS REMAIN A SCARCITY IN SEATTLE--The Royals doubled their total on Friday from what Kansas City’s 2012 struggles with Seattle continued last night they accrued in Thursday’s series opener, but that only meant it went from 2 hits to 4, as KC dropped a 6-1 as the Royals have dropped 5 of the 6 games played between these decision to the homestanding Mariners...the loss was Kansas City’s third in a row and fourth in 5 games clubs...the Royals still hold a 211-193 lead in the all-time work, on this road trip and had a similar recipe to the previous two in this immediate streak -- early runs by the but trail by a 95-102 count in Seattle, specifically 21-33 in Safeco. home team...the Mariners plated 3 in the first on a John Jaso and then 2 more in the second and Date Site Score WP LP Att. instantly had a 5-0 lead...on Thursday they scored a pair in the first and in Anaheim on Wednesday, the 7/16 KC L, 4-9 Vargas Sanchez 16,697 7/17 KC L, 6-9 Beavan Verdugo 15,769 Halos had 6 runs by the end of the second inning...Jeremy Guthrie, making his second start as a Royal, 7/18 KC W, 8-7 Holland Kinney 17,312 allowed all 6 runs after surrendering 5 in his debut start last Sunday at home...the bullpen last night tossed 7/19 KC L, 1-6 Hernandez Smith 16,706 a strong 2.2 innings, recording 8 outs over 7 batters faced...as for the offense, Billly Butler, who had both 7/26 @ Sea L, 1-4 Vargas Mendoza 15,014 Kansas City hits on Thursday, had half of the club’s output last night, going 2-for-4, while Salvy Perez 7/27 @ Sea L, 1-6 Beavan Guthrie 14,953 7/28 @ Sea had a hit and sac fly for the lone RBI...the Royals are now 17 games under .500 for the first time this year 7/29 @ Sea after cutting that deficit to 4 below after play on June 29. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???--The statistical packet says that the Seattle Mariners are hitting a league low .231, but in the half dozen games against the Royals, hits and runs have not been a problem...Seattle has hit at a .327 clip (72-for-220) with 41 runs scored, a per game average of 6.8 in those 6 games vs. KC, with the Royals dropping 5 of the 6 affairs...on the year, the Mariners are averaging 3.9 runs per contest...conversely, in the last 3 games between these clubs, the Royals have managed just a .156 mark (14-for-90), scoring only one run in each contest, despite hitting .266 on the year as a team.

EARLY RUNS PROVING LETHAL--Over the last 21 games, the Royals have only managed to win four and in that span early runs by the opposition have been the biggest culprit...in the first two innings of each of those 21 contests, Kansas City have allowed 43 runs out of the 100 overall runs scored in the 21 games... in the last 3 games alone, KC has allowed 13 runs in the first two innings and not surprisingly has lost each contest. HOMESTAND STARTS TUESDAY--The Royals will head back to the midwest following tomorrow’s series finale, take Monday off and then open a 6-game stand against Cleveland (3) and Texas (3)...the entire Cleveland series will feature 7:10 first pitches, as will the Friday contest against with Texas, followed by a 5:10 affair on Saturday and 1:10 homestand finale with the A.L. West leading Rangers...true to the season stats to date, the Royals have struggled at home against the Tribe, going 0-3, but hold a 4-2 advantage on games contested in Progressive Field...KC is just 12-23 in intra-divisional play, while going 21-23 vs. the East and West combined.
