Royals Stick Mariners with 8-7 Loss
Good production from center fielder Melky Cabrera helped the Kansas City Royals topple the Seattle Mariners, 8-7. Cabrera was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Royals. Kansas City now sits in third place in the AL Central Division at 68-75.

Cabrera contributed a big hit, a 2-run double, for Kansas City in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 3-2, Cabrera took a changeup from Kyle Lohse and stroked the double to right. His 40th double of the season allowed the Royals to leap in front, 4-3.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Cabrera, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
