Mariners 6 | Royals 5

A road series win!
While it's an early novelty, here's hoping it becomes boringly familiar ;-)

Gotta be some concern re: RRS ...
Other than the lead-off homer, he looked great through five but the wheels came off in the 6th - single, HBP, wild pitch, walk, single, triple - and just like that, tie ball game.

But let's focus on the positive, shall we?

Ichi-Fig was alive and well in KC!  5 hits, 3 rbi, 1 run, 1 walk, 1 stolen base

the bottom third of the order was responsible for 2 runs 2 rbi and a walk

MS and MB contributing in most of the O columns as well

and while not a single homer was hit there were 4 doubles and a triple

bullpen proves resilient after the nightmare that was Chicago

And then there is the "D"...

two more DP's

a great pirouetting play by J-Dub, complete with description by Mr. Neihaus that involved the word "tu-tu"

Day off at home tomorrow and then, on Friday, the night we've been waiting for since last winter...
