SEATTLE (AP) — Ty France homered for the second time in three games, Bryan Woo allowed one run over 5 1/3 innings for his first win and the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 on Wednesday.

The Mariners took two of three from the Royals and have won eight of their last nine series. Seattle will head out on a key 10-game road trip on the East Coast four games above .500 and leading the AL West.

France hit a solo shot off Kansas City starter Alec Marsh in the fourth inning to give Seattle a 2-0 lead. France also homered on Monday in the series opener.

Seattle also got an unearned run in the second inning after Adam Frazier was unable to cleanly field Luis Urías’ grounder behind third base with the bases loaded, and the Mariners added on two key runs late. Josh Rojas had a two-out RBI single in the seventh inning and Luke Raley added an RBI single in the eighth.

“The add-on runs today were huge. Guys just kept grinding through knowing that we have to have good at-bats," Seattle manager Scott Servais said. "We got some big hits.”

While Woo was terrific, Andrés Muñoz came through late, getting the final five outs for his seventh save. He also pitched around an error by Urías in the ninth. It was his second five-out save of the season.

Muñoz said his approach has changed a bit since the start of the season.

“I was a little more cautious about throw the pitch here, throw the pitch here," Muñoz said. "What I changed was just throw the ball the hardest that I can right in the middle. Obviously I don't want to hit the middle, but that is my mentality right now.”

Woo (1-0) cruised through the first five innings allowing only one hit, before running into a jam in the sixth inning. Woo had a long fifth inning in the dugout due to an umpire change between the top and bottom of the inning, as home plate umpire Jim Wolf was replaced for precautionary reasons after taking a foul ball off the facemask.

When Woo returned for the sixth, he wasn’t as sharp and immediately ran into trouble with two singles and a walk. Bobby Witt Jr. delivered a sacrifice fly to score Freddy Fermin, but reliever Gabe Speier ended the threat by getting a foul pop out from Vinny Pasquantino and struck out Salvador Perez to end the inning.

Woo struck out five and walked only one. His first start of the season last Friday had been cut short due to tightness in his right forearm following a long inning in the dugout.

“You have to learn. I think today we did a really good job adjusting from obviously the last start and came up with some good ideas of how to stay hot between innings,” Woo said.

Witt also had an RBI groundout in the eighth that scored Fermin.

“You got to try to capitalize. You know they’re going to be generally low-scoring games when you play these guys,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “They have a good pitching staff and we put ourselves in a couple spots to do some good things.”

Marsh (3-1) allowed just one earned run but took his first loss of the season. He struck out seven and has allowed just two earned runs in his past four starts combined.

Mariners: 2B Jorge Polanco (hamstring) and DH Mitch Garver (back) were out of the lineup for a second straight day. Both could return Friday in Baltimore.

Both teams are off on Thursday. The Royals return home to open a three-game series with Oakland on Friday, while Seattle starts a 10-game road trip in Baltimore on Friday.

⚾️ France homers as the Mariners beat the Royals

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER Hays Post

WICHITA - Hays High allowed runs in just two innings but that was enough for Goddard-Eisenhower to beat the Indians 5-2 Wednesday afternoon in the first round of regional play at the Two Rivers Youth Complex.

Riley Dreher drove in Aubree Thomas for the game's first run in the top of the first inning. Thomas opened the game with a single. It was the Indians' only hit of the game.

Eisenhower struck for two runs in the bottom of the second and three more in the bottom of the third for a 5-1 lead. An error in the bottom of the second allowed the Tigers to take the lead at 2-1. They led off the third with a single followed by a triple for a 3-1 advantage. A run scoring single upped the lead to 4-1 and the fifth run scored on a passed ball.

Dreher scored the second and final run for Hays in the top of the sixth. Two errors by Eisenhower helped the Indians cross the plate.&nbsp;

Thomas allowed five runs (three earned) on eight hits with five strikeouts and not walks over six innings and suffered the loss.

It was the second time Eisenhower beat Hays this season. The Tigers got the best of the Indians 3-2 earlier in the year.

Hays drops their final five games and ends their 2024 campaign at 15-12.

SEATTLE (AP) — Nelson Velázquez put Kansas City ahead with a three-run homer in the seventh inning, and Michael Wacha worked six dominant innings as the Royals beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Tuesday night.

Velázquez’s third homer of the season spoiled a strong outing for Seattle starter Logan Gilbert, who had given up just three hits over six shutout innings entering the decisive frame.

It all fell apart for Gilbert (3-2) in the seventh, as Bobby Witt, Jr. led off with a walk and reached second on a Vinnie Pasquantino groundout to second base where Josh Rojas bobbled the ball to spoil the chance of a double play. Salvador Perez reached on an intentional walk, and scored when Velázquez sent a 398-foot blast to left field.

“They found a way to put some pressure on him late, he made a mistake, and the three-run homer was the big swing in the ballgame,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “But the stuff, the command, the competitiveness, it was pretty much what we've seen all year from Logan.”

Velázquez' homer was his first since April 4.

“He's a high percentage slider guy, so I went there with a plan that at-bat," Velázquez said. “Look for the slider and try to hit the ball to the middle. I stood on my plan and a good thing happened.”

Maikel Garcia added to Kansas City's lead with an RBI single off Mariners reliever Trent Thornton in the eighth.

Luke Raley gave the Mariners an early lead with a solo homer in the bottom of the fourth, one of just three hits for the Mariners against Wacha (3-4), who struck out seven.

“His stuff was good today,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “The slider was better and he's been working on that. His velo was up early, he got the ball up above the zone when he needed to, he got the ball down, and his changeup was good, like usual.”

Mitch Haniger hit a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth off closer James McArthur, who struck out Dylan Moore and got Luis Urías to line out for his 10th save.

The Mariners struck out 11 times in the loss, which snapped a seven-game winning streak against the Royals.

“Especially early on, they were swinging aggressively and maybe didn't have time to get to the changeup," Wacha said. “But also, you know, trying to disguise it at times with other pitches as well. Whenever I did throw it, felt like it had good action. Some positive results today.”

Mariners: DH Mitch Garver (upper back spasms) was scratched from the starting lineup … 2B Jorge Polanco was out of the lineup after leaving in the sixth inning of Monday’s game because of a tight right hamstring. Manager Scott Servais said the injury was “nothing that serious.”

Royals: CF Kyle Isbel (stomach bug) was out of the starting lineup for the second straight game.

Seattle right-hander Bryan Woo (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will make his second start of the season on Wednesday, while the Royals will start righty Alec Marsh (3-0, 2.53 ERA). Marsh will make his second start since being activated from the injured list on May 9 after taking a line drive off his right elbow in late April.

INDIANAPOLIS - The Fort Hays State men's and women's track and field teams will send eight student-athletes to compete in nine events at the 2024 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships, announced Tuesday by the NCAA office. Emporia State University will host the meet May 23-25 at Welch Stadium in Emporia, Kan.

Both the men's and women's squads will send four athletes to the national meet. Representing the men will be Keomonie Archie&nbsp;in the long jump, Grant Bradkey in the 3,000m steeplechase, Jacob Clark&nbsp;in the pole vault and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-track-and-field/roster/dayton-williams/7879">Dayton Williams</a>&nbsp;in the high jump. Individuals from the women's team heading to Emporia include Annabeth Baalmann&nbsp;in the pole vault, Addie Berens&nbsp;in the javelin throw, Rhyann Brown&nbsp;in the javelin throw and Taylor Savolt&nbsp;in both the heptathlon and 400m hurdles.

Savolt is competing at the national level for a fifth time in her career. This is the senior's second trip to the outdoor meet after earning first team All-America honors in the 400m hurdles last spring. She added a second All-America recognition with a second-team finish in the indoor pentathlon earlier this season. This is Savolt's first time competing in the heptathlon at the national meet. The Garden City, Kan. native qualified after posting a personal-best 5,152 points in the heptathlon at the MIAA Championships earlier this month while running a season-low time of 59.59 in the 400m hurdles.

Berens looks to add her fourth-career All-America honor as she heads to the outdoor national meet for a fourth-consecutive season. The Tampa, Kan. native finished 11th in the javelin throw in 2021, fourth in 2022 and seventh in 2023. The senior qualified for this year's meet thanks to a top toss of 150-5, set in late March in Kearney, Neb.

Brown will also be competing in the javelin throw at the national stage for a fourth-consecutive season. The Osborne, Kan. native finished 17th at nationals in 2021, 17th in 2022 and 21st in 2023. The senior ranks sixth in DII this season with a top toss of 158-2 set this weekend in Kearney.

Baalmann heads to nationals for the second time this season after placing eighth in the pole vault at the indoor meet earlier this season in Pittsburg, Kan., earning her first All-America trophy. The Colwich, Kan. sophomore broke the outdoor school record during the first week of the season and later broke the record two more times, finishing the year with a top clearance of 13-0.25 at the MIAA Championships in Maryville, Mo. to place second and earn her first All-MIAA medal.

Clark will be competing at the national stage for a fifth time in his career. He has earned All-America honors in each of his previous trips to the national meet, including three first-team trophies and one second-team distinction. The Nottingham, England native placed sixth indoors in 2022, ninth outdoors in 2022, sixth indoors in 2023 and eight indoors earlier this season. The junior surpassed 17 feet three times during the outdoor season, including a season-best 17-3.5 in Kearney in April that ranks fifth in DII this season.

This is Bradley's first trip to the outdoor national meet, while it is his second appearance at nationals overall. The Aurora, Colo. native helped the men's distance medley relay team earn All-America honors earlier this season indoors, placing sixth. The junior qualified thanks to a season-best time of 8:53.61 in the 3,000m steeplechase set in April in California, the fastest time by a Tiger during the DII era by more than 16 seconds. That time ranks Bradley 13th on the DII performance chart this season.

Williams is headed to his third national meet and his second-such event outdoors. The senior posted a top finish of 16th at indoor nationals this year, clearing 6-7.75. Williams became just the second Tiger to clear seven feet during the DII era this season, finishing fourth at the conference championships with a top clearance of 7-0.25.
