Jim Anderson, the number nine hitter in the Seattle lineup, entered the game hitting .183 before collecting two singles and a double, enabling the Mariners to prevail over the Royals, 4-3. Anderson triggered a two-run third inning with a double and scored on a triple by Tom Paciorek, and then drove home two runs with a fifth-inning single. [The Sporting News]
