KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – MAY 24: Pitcher Bryan Woo #22 of the Seattle Mariners pitches during the 1st inning of the game against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on May 24, 2026 in Kansas City, Missouri.\u00a0 (Jamie Squire \/ Getty Images)<\/strong><\/p>\n KANSAS CITY, Mo.<\/strong> – Salvador Perez made Seattle pitcher Bryan Woo pay for intentionally walking the bases loaded ahead of him, delivering the go-ahead, two-out single Sunday that ignited the Kansas City offense and propelled the Royals to an 8-6 win over the Mariners.<\/p>\n Seth Lugo (2-4) allowed a first-inning homer by Julio Rodriguez before pitching into the seventh for Kansas City. The former Cy Young runner-up allowed three runs and six hits and two walks in winning for the first time since his March 29 season debut.<\/p>\n Carter Jensen and Maikel Garcia also had two RBIs apiece as the Royals won consecutive games for the first time since May 9-10.<\/p>\n Lucas Erceg allowed three runs in the ninth in a non-save situation before finishing out the game.<\/p>\n Woo (4-3) allowed four runs and six hits and two walks in 4 2\/3 innings. He\u2019d allowed just two runs over his previous 18 innings.<\/p>\n Royals starters came into the game on a 19-inning scoreless streak, and Lugo promptly retired leadoff man J.P. Crawford. But on his second pitch to Rodriguez, the Mariners slugger sent an 89-mph sinker into the left-field bullpen to give Seattle a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n It was still that way until the fifth inning, when Woo walked Michael Massey and gave up a two-strike bunt single to Kyle Isbel. Woo bounced back to retire the next two batters, then chose to intentionally walk Vinnie Pasquantino and load the bases.<\/p>\n Perez, who has been struggling throughout the season, slapped a two-run single through the left side of the infield to give Kansas City the lead. Jensen followed with a two-run double to make it 4-1 and knock Woo from the game.<\/p>\n The Royals added a run apiece in the sixth and seventh innings and two more in the eighth to put the game away.<\/p>\n Up next<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Mariners head to California to face the A’s on Monday night with RHP Emerson Hancock (3-2, 3.07 ERA) getting the start. The Royals welcome the Yankees for a Memorial Day matinee with RHP Michael Wacha (4-2, 2.70) on the mound.<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> Information in this story came from The Associated Press.<\/p>\n MORE MARINERS NEWS FROM FOX 13 SEATTLE<\/strong> <\/p>\n Stephen Kolek tosses complete-game shutout as Seattle Mariners stymied 5-0 in loss to Royals<\/a><\/p>\n Logan Gilbert, Mitch Garver lead Seattle Mariners to 2-0 shutout of Royals<\/a><\/p>\n J.P.
