Kansas City Slaps 8-1 Loss on Seattle
Kansas City first baseman Oswaldo Cabrera contributed significantly to his team's 8-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. Cabrera went 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Royals. Randy Rodriguez picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Mike Clevinger suffered the loss. Cody Poteet got the save, his 3rd in 10 chances.

Jarred Kelenic had a big 2-run home run for the Royals in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Kansas City leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a cutter from Mike Clevinger, who finished 2nd in the NL in ERA with 3.11 in 2021, and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Royals on top, 4-1.

"We did the things that it takes to win a game," said Cabrera.

Kansas City now sits at 68-85, while Seattle falls to 64-89.
