Castro Shines, But Mariners Fall Short
Seattle catcher Jason Castro had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 9-5, to Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium. Castro went 2 for 2 with 2 home runs and 3 walks. Kansas City pitcher Pat Crosby got the win. He's now 2-3. Roger Willis was tagged with the loss. Kansas City, now 54-66, holds down third place in the American League Central.

In the bottom of the sixth, Kansas City first baseman Anthony Rizzo had a productive at-bat. With a runner on 3rd and one out, Rizzo stroked a run-scoring single to right. It made the score 6-5, Kansas City. For the game, he was 2-4 with a double, while adding 2 RBI.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Rizzo.
