Overview

• Kansas City’s four-run eighth—sparked by a Salvador Perez walk, an Adam Frazier go-ahead two-run homer, a Carter Jensen RBI single and a Bobby Witt Jr. double—turned a 4-3 deficit into a 7-5 win that snapped Seattle’s streak.
• The defeat dropped the Mariners to 83-69 and a half-game back of the Astros, who beat the Rangers to move into first in the AL West.
• Salvador Perez hit a three-run homer in the first and is 6-for-16 with four home runs and 11 RBIs over his past four games.
• Carlos Estevez secured his major league-leading 40th save after Cole Ragans returned to start for the first time since June 5 and allowed only Eugenio Suárez’s two-run homer over 3 2/3 innings.
• Seattle turns to Luis Castillo today, while Kansas City starts Stephen Kolek after Seth Lugo’s setback, with Kolek allowing four runs over 19 2/3 innings in three Royals starts.
