SEATTLE — — Julio Rodríguez barely had a chance to pop up from his slide and finish screaming in celebration at second base before getting sent home by a shot off the bat of Jarred Kelenic.
It was a two-pitch sequence of highlights Seattle fans have waited a couple of weeks to see from their young, promising outfielders as the Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1.
LHP Kris Bubic (0-1, 10.80) will make his third start Saturday at 8:10.
