The Seattle Mariners got their road trip started on a terrific note, winning three out of four games against the Kansas City Royals. The M's experienced an uncharacteristically consistent series with their bats, scoring six runs or more in each of their four games at Kauffman Stadium. They'll hope their offense stays hot over the weekend as they travel to take on the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-game series.
The Rays are three games over .500 but thanks to playing in the American League East, they find themselves in third place and 10 full games away from the division-leading New York Yankees. Both the Mariners and Rays have played .500 ball over their last 10 games, so this series could be up in the air.
