Surprise, Ari. {Wednesday March 11}
In the fourth inning the Royals scored six runs to seal the deal agains the Mariners. Going into the inning down 2-0. Billy Butler and Mitch Maier contributed by each hitting home runs in the fourth.
Butler hit a three-run home-run over the left field wall. Maier got an inside-the-park home-run.
The Royals were scheduled to face Erik Bedard but he was scratched due to a sore left hip. Chris Jakubaukus started in the place of Bedard and threw three hitless innings.
Once Jakubaukus was removed the Royals had no problem with reliever Justin Thomas. Hits came from Bloomquist, DeJesus, Jacobs, Gordon and Maier. The Royals obtained three insurance runs in the eighth.
It was good news for the Royals when Gil Meche threw 55 pitches and had no complaints of back problems. It was only his second start in the Cactus League after being set back because of back spasms.
