In the first inning, both teams struggled to find their rhythm offensively. The Royals and Mariners were unable to register any runs or hits, with each team's pitchers effectively shutting down early threats. Kansas City's starting pitcher demonstrated control and precision, keeping Seattle's batters off balance with a mix of fastballs and breaking balls.


Fourth Inning


As the game progressed into the fourth inning, Seattle managed to break through first. A combination of strategic hitting allowed them to score one run on two hits. This put pressure on K.C.'s defense, but they managed to limit further damage by executing key outs when needed.


The Boys in Blue responded defensively by tightening up their fielding efforts and ensuring no errors were made during this critical period. Despite being down by one run, Kansas City's pitching staff remained composed under pressure.


Seventh Inning


The seventh inning proved pivotal for K.C., as they mounted an impressive offensive surge that would ultimately decide the game's outcome. With two hits already on board from previous innings but no runs scored yet, it was time for action from key players like Vinnie Pasquantino who had shown potential in previous games with his .250 average and two RBIs.


Kansas City capitalized on opportunities presented by Seattle's pitching mistakes during this inning—scoring three crucial runs thanks largely due to timely hitting combined with disciplined base running strategies which kept them ahead throughout rest of match-up despite late attempts made by Emerald City team trying catch up again before final whistle blew signaling end playtime altogether!


Ninth Inning
