The Seattle Mariners didn’t have much of a chance on Monday night against the Kansas City Royals as Royals pitcher Zack Greinke was on the top of his game. After it was all said and done, the Mariners only had five hits on the night, and only scored one run. That definately won’t get it done against this year Royals team.
The one Mariners run came off the bat of Ichiro when he grounded into a fielders choice in the 3rd inning. Other then that, the Mariners bats were silent against Greinke.
Jarrod Washburn took the loss for the Mariners on the mound. Washburn pitched six innings and gave up three earned runs while striking out six batters. He did give up two home runs however which accounted for all three earned runs.
Sean Green gave up one earned run without even recording an out. Roy Corcoran also gave up an earned run as he pitched one inning.
