Evans, it is the third time that we are seeing him in the big leagues. He is making his eighth big league start coming off a rough outing in Tacoma where he allowed eight earned runs on nine hits on Saturday. But we know that he has shown a lot of poise, a lot of control up here in Seattle. Jonathan is in the right handed batter’s box, a swing and a miss and goes down quickly on three pitches that will bring up Bobby Wood junior swing and a miss and that cutter is cooking early from Logan Evans and now here’s Vinny Pascu in play over to Young, a very quick nine pitch inning and now the Royals hand the ball to Seth Lugo right man in the right place here tonight to get the split. This will be the ninth time this year that he has taken the ball after a Royals loss and his, er , a in the first eight is 2.28 and on the ground to the right side, Jonathan India Shuffles to his right, picks it up, throws to first in time for the out one away for Lugo in the bottom of the first. A rare walk for julio one out and one on for Cal Raley. Julio takes off, swung on and missed the throw. The tag by Witte and Julio is safe julio Rodriguez with his 1/100 career stolen base. Here’s randy Arose Arena. A Rosa arena punches to straight away center and hangs up for kyle Isbell one step back. He makes the catch a Rosa’s out and the inning is over, Michael garcia leads off Williamson. That’s a fair ball long throw ahead on a skip in plenty of time. And another fine play by Ben Williamson at third base. The pitch swinging a ground ball right to Cole Young at second, gobbles it up, throws the first. That’s it for Rave and the Royals in the second six in a row. Sit down designated hitter Jorge Polanco leading up line drive and it’s over. Patino Polanco will make the turn. This kicks off the short wall throw to second base and Polaco is safe. Draws ball four. Raley is aboard. The Mariners have the first two men swung on him is strike three elevated cutter can zone chased it. Second baseman Cole Young Baba sliced in the air down the third base line. Michael Garcia is underneath it. He makes the catch Young’s out and that ends the innings. Nick leads off chopping left side, Williamson over to first. You wouldn’t know it by the first eight batters that he gave up eight runs in just three innings in his last start in AAA. Here’s the 32 slung chopped right to second base.

He had to get up and just fire blindly down to Vinny. He got him. Here’s India and jonathan has a leadoff walk. So he’s on now for Bobby. He fouls it right back to the glove of Cal Raley. Second time that Logan Evans has struck out Bobby Wood Junior.

Drive to center field is Bell looking up that smashes the wall. Raley around first base. He’s steaming it to second. He’s going to double. So the Mariners get a leadoff home run but after that, they had a runner at second with nobody out and Lugo pitches around that one. Seattle, Freddie Fermin will make the turn and go to third and put two on two out for Bobby Wood Junior. You got to be careful right here in this situation through that bat swing and a fly ball straight away. Center field shallow canzone racing in on the run.

We go to the bottom of the seventh inning, 3 to 1. KC Williamson aboard to lead off the seventh inning immediately. Brings up the rookie coy Young that is a called third strike and good late movement. He had Young jumping backward and so Lugo will be coming out, did exactly what he was supposed to do.
