Royals 5, Mariners 1
71/2 innings
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bruce Chen pitched his second complete game in his past four starts (dating to last year) for the Royals in a game called after a 47-minute rain delay. Chen has won his past six decisions and is 50-50 overall. The lefty had tossed 13 consecutive scoreless innings before Adam Kennedy's sac fly drove in an unearned run in the eighth. Alex Gordon keyed Kansas City's three-run third with a two-run double. Wilson Betemit drove in runs with a homer and a sac fly.
