Royals vs. Mariners FRESH PRINCE OF KAUFFMAN DOMINATES--Seven trips up and down I-29 this year between Kansas Kansas City won the first of seven 2013 meetings with the City and Omaha didn’t deter reliever Will Smith who did more than “get jiggy with it” yesterday, picking Mariners with yesterday’s 3-1 triumph, already matching the up starter Danny Duffy with 4.1 dominant innings of relief to gain a 3-1 series-opening win over Felix win total vs. the M’s in 2012...KC was just 1-7 against Seattle last year, going 1-3 here and 0-4 in Seattle...the Royals lead the Hernandez and the Mariners...the 24-year old Smith fanned 8 of the 14 men he faced with no walks and all-time body of work by a 212-195 mark, 117-91 in “The K.” allowing only one hit, a sun ball that dropped near Jarrod Dyson in centerfield in the seventh inning...Duffy’s Date Site Score WP LP Att. pitch-count was his nemesis on Monday, needing 91 tosses to get through 3.2 innings, allowing just a on 9/2 KC W, 3-1 Smith Hernandez 20,063 5 hits and 4 walks with 4 K’s...he managed to strand 6 runners through the first three innings and then Smith 9/3 KC fanned the first Mariner he faced in the fourth to leave 2 more runners aboard...KC tied the game in the fourth 9/4 KC 9/5 KC on a RBI single and then took the lead with a pair in the fifth after hits by Dyson and Alcides 9/23 @ Sea Escobar, each used their speed to score on a wild pitch and sac fly, respectively...the win was Kansas City’s 9/24 @ Sea seventh in its last 9 games and closed the Royals to within 4 1/2 games of a Wild Card spot, thanks to the 9/25 @ Sea Rays losing in Anaheim last night. ONE AND DONE FOR THE STAFF--Yesterday was the seventh time in the last 8 games that the Kansas City pitching staff has allowed one or fewer earned runs...by surrendering only 8 earnies in the last 8 games (70.0 innings), KC has lowered its team ERA to an American League leading 3.43, topping #2 Detroit at 3.61...in the last 8 games, starters have allowed 7 earned runs in 49.1 innings for a 1.28 ERA, while the bullpen has surrendered just one run in 20.2 innings for a 0.44 mark while striking out 30 and limiting opposing hitters to a .087 batting average (6-for-69). PEN STILL ALSO ON TOP--Kansas City’s bullpen fired 5.1 innings of 2-hit, 9-K relief yesterday to secure both the win and the save in the 3-1 decision over the M’s... the Royals still have the best overall pen ERA in the American League with a 2.51 mark, bettering the #2 club from Texas (2.91)...only Atlanta has a better statistical bullpen in the Majors with a 2.36 mark...if the current 2.51 mark holds up over the final month, it would be the second best American League pen since 1982, with only Oakland’s 2.35 relief ERA in 1990 ranking better. SMITTY ON THE “K” ROLL--Reliever Will Smith recorded a big league best 8 in yesterday’s 4.1-inning relief stint, matching the most K’s by a Kansas City reliever in 20+ years dating back to Tom “Flash” Gordon’s 8-K performance on July 9, 1993 in 4.2 frames vs. the Tigers...Gordon also holds the club record for strikeouts by a reliever with 10 on April 12, 1989 vs. Baltimore (6.2 innings). BILLY STREAKING AT HOME--Kansas City designated hitter was 1-for-4 yesterday, snapping out of an 0-for-16 funk with a fourth inning single that moved to third and set the stage for Mike Moustakas to tie the game with a hit...Butler has now reached base safely in 25 consecutive games here in Kauffman Stadium, hitting safely in 22 of those affairs at a .387 clip (36-for-93) with 6 doubles and 4 home runs...dating back to the July 19 home game vs. Detroit, Billy has compiled a .467 on-base pct. and .581 slugging pct. for an OPS of 1.048.
