Royals 1, Mariners 4
Can somebody explain this schedule to me? The Royals left Kansas City on May 25 and played the very next day in New York. After three games against the Yankees, they then flew cross country to play the Oakland A's without a day off. They then flew to Seattle for a weekend series against the Mariners. They played their typical get-away-day afternoon game on Sunday, but then had to stay over another night to play the Mariners on Monday night. The then have to return to KC to play the Rangers, again without an off day.
Mike Wood made a spot start tonight for Denny Bautista - the third Royals started to get fired in the last week. (Affeldt was demoted to bullpen along with Bautista, and Runelvys was demoted to AAA Omaha).
Wood pitched a scoreless game into the sixth, but Jimmy Gobble entered the game and allow Wood's two runners to score. The Royals were able to get one of those runs back in the top of the seventh, but couldn't scratch across anymore.
Joel Peralta entered the game in the eighth and allowed two more runs to score.
The Bell Curve

Runs Scored 211
