Kansas City Royals starter Michael Grove kept the Seattle Mariners hitters in check, leading his team to a comfortable 8-0 win. Grove, the winner, moves to 3-2. He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 3 walks. The Royals have now won 4 straight.

Kyle Isbel, the 27-year old center fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Isbel contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Kansas City up, 2-0.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Grove told the Kansas City Times. "It's as simple as that."
