  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Kansas City Royals (72-80) 0 1 0 0 1 2 1 1 0 6 11 0

Mariners Best Royals, 8-6
The Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals, 8-6, at Kingdome. The win was due in part to first baseman Billie Merrifield, who went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. The last-place Royals have dropped 4 straight games.

With Seattle leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Merrifield hit a changeup from Luis Leal for a 3-run home run. It was his 22nd home run of the season and put the Mariners ahead, 4-0.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Merrifield.
