The Seattle Mariners got timely hits when they needed to and let the bullpen handle the rest in a 3-2 win against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday

The Kansas City Royals and the Seattle Mariners meet in the third contest of a 4-game series at T-Mobile Park in Seattle Wednesday night.

Seriously: As they’ve settled into owning the puniest offense in Major League Baseball, the Royals (38-43) have mustered four or more runs only 30 times in 81 games. For that matter, as of Thursday they are 4-32 when trailing after six innings, 2-33 when behind after seven and 1-37 lagging after eight.
