An eight-hit route-going pitching performance by Gura was backed by timely hitting as Royals eased past Mariners, 3-1. After first-inning singles by Cruz, Reynolds and Paciorek gave Mariners 1-0 lead, K. C. tied it in third when Patek walked, stole second, advanced to third on groundout and scored on single by Braun.
