NOT A GREAT DAD’S DAY AT ‘THE K’ --The good news is that the Royals hit Seattle after a 5-2 week,

but yesterday’s nale took some of the shine off an overall solid week as the Red Sox pounded out a 13-2

Father’s Day decision...Kansas City entered the weekend series vs. Boston sweeping a 4-game home &

home series from Milwaukee, but the BoSox exed their way to a pair of wins capped by a 16-hit attack on

Sunday, 13 of which went for extra bases, a record vs. KC...the rst nine Boston hits yesterday were of the

extra-base variety with six doubles and three home runs before David Ortiz drove in the BoSox 10th runwith their rst single of the afternoon...Chris Young was the roughed up starter, falling to 6-3 by allowing

seven runs on seven hits (all for extra bases) with three walks in 4.2 innings...the Kansas City offense

was kept off the board until Lorenzo Cain’s 2-out, 2-run triple in the ninth...despite the one-sided defeat

on Sunday, the Royals managed to extend their division lead during the week, opening in Milwaukee last

Monday with a 2 1/2-game advantage, but thanks to a Minnesota loss yesterday, KC starts this trip 3 1/2

games ahead and the only A.L. club at least 12 games over .500 with a league-best winning pct. of .591.

OVER 2,000,000 SOLD--The question of when the Royals will once again draw two million fans was answered this morning when single game ticket sales reached

2,013,500 for the season...this will mark the rst time since 1991 when Kansas City drew 2,161,537 through the gates at Kauffman Stadium and the 12th time to

break 2,000,000 in team history...the Royals eclipsed the 1,000,000 mark in season attendance last Wednesday night in the 31st home date of the year, the fastest the

franchise has ever drawn seven gures, blowing past the previous quickest of 34 dates in both 1986 and ‘87...Kansas City is averaging 32,934 per game, which is an

improvement of 11,320 compared to 35 dates last year...with 46 home dates remaining, the current per game average factors out to just over 2.66 million over a full

season, which would shatter the team record of 2,477,700 set in 1989...the Royals have already played in front of 11 sellout crowds at ‘The K’ this year.

ROSTER MOVE --The Royals today recalled righthanded pitcher Michael Mariot from Omaha (AAA) and optioned Aaron Brooks to the Storm Chasers...Mariot, 26,

is getting his rst test in the Majors this year after appearing 17 times for the big league club last year, posting a 1-0 record...he has made 22 appearances for Omaha,

going 1-1 with a team best ve saves and a 3.18 ERA, fanning 33 hitters in 28.1 innings...Brooks worked 3.1 innings of relief yesterday in the loss at home to Boston.

DOUBLE-DIGIT HIT STREAK HALTED--A side note to yesterday’s 13-2 thumping by the BoSox was that the Royals were held to just nine hits in the contest,

snapping a streak of six consecutive games in which the Royals collected at least 10 hits...the high-water mark during the streak was a 17-hit outburst last Tuesday in

a 7-2 win at Milwaukee...despite the 9-hit affair on Sunday, Kansas City has batted .344 (85-for-247) in its last seven games while plating 40 runs, averaging 5.7 per

game...this 7-game stretch came on the heels of KC’s offensive low-point of the year, going 6-11 in a 17-game span in which the club scored only 41 runs (2.4 per

game) while hitting only .205 (115-for-560).

GO WEST YOUNG MEN --Tonight kicks off a 9-game journey through 60% of the A.L. West, with three here, followed by 3-game stops in Oakland and Houston...

the Royals have gone 8-5 vs. the West to this point...yesterday’s loss dropped KC to 3-6 vs. the East, facing only the Yankees and Red Sox to this point...Kansas City

will resume play vs. the East during its next homestand when Tampa Bay (4) and Toronto (3) visit Kauffman Stadium...the Royals are also 19-12 within their own

Central Division and 9-4 vs. the National League after a big league best 15-5 effort vs. the Senior Circuit last year.

TONIGHT’S STARTING PITCHERS: RHP Joe Blanton (1-0, 1.80) vs. RHP Felix Hernandez (10-3, 3.08)

Royals vs. Mariners

Tonight is the rst of six between these clubs, with the M’svisiting Kauffman Stadium during the nal homestand of the yearin September...KC was just 2-5 against the Mariners in 2014, go-ing 2-2 here, but getting swept in ‘The K’...the Royals hold a 217-203 advantage all-time, but have a 98-108 decit in Seattle, 24-39
