Mariners Lose to Royals, 2-1
Kansas City got a strong outing from Colin Rodgers as the Royals defeated the Seattle Mariners, 2-1, at Kauffman Stadium. With the victory, the Royals upped their record to 80-71.

Had Ismaldo Rodriguez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Rodriguez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Royals.

In postgame comments to the Kansas City Chronicle, Rodgers said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
