KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Salvador Perez gave Royals reliever Brooks Pounders his first career win, Mariners starter James Paxton a frustrating no-decision and Kansas City a much-needed confidence boost with one mighty swing.Perez capped a three-hit night with a double off the wall in the ninth inning Thursday night, scoring Whit Merrifield and Jarrod Dyson and giving the Royals a 4-3 victory over Seattle to open a four-game set.How many times have we been through it? I mean, we fight. We keep fighting, said Danny Duffy, who kept the Royals in the game with 6 1/3 strong innings. Youre never out of the game with these boys.Paxton kept them out of it for eight innings, using just 78 pitches to get that far. The only damage he allowed came in the eighth when Paulo Orlando delivered a two-out single to get Kansas City within 3-2.Steve Cishek (2-5) came on to close the game and Merrifield doubled to lead off the ninth. Kendrys Morales was hit by a pitch moments later, Jarrod Dyson came on to run for him, and Eric Hosmer struck out before Perez dug in at the plate and a crowd of 31,425 reached a fevered pitch.He lined a shot to center to give Pounders (1-0), who pitched an inning of relief, his stunning win.Its a great moment in my life, the big reliever said. To walk away with a win in that game is just unbelievable. It says a lot about the team we have here.The victory snapped a four-game skid for Kansas City an extended Seattles road losing streak to 10.I dont know if you can be much more in control of the game to being on the wrong side of things in an inning and a half, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Tough game to lose.The Mariners built an early 2-0 lead not with a homer -- they entered the game tied for second in the majors with 128 of them -- but with old-fashioned small ball. Dae-Ho Lee scored from second on Dan Robertsons single in the second inning, and Robertson scored after a sacrifice bunt and sacrifice fly in the fifth.Nelson Cruz added a homer off Joakim Soria in the eighth.Those three runs seemed insurmountable the way Paxton was cruising along.He induced inning-ending double plays the first two innings, then another one in the third after back-to-back singles led it off. Ketel Marte then made a nice play ranging out from third base on Alex Gordons blooper into shallow left field to leave Brett Eibner on third base and end the inning.The worst throw Paxton made before the eighth wasnt to the mound but to first base, when Kendrys Morales chopped a grounder back to him the previous inning. Paxtons throw slipped and bounced halfway to the bag.With everything else going for him, it still beat Morales easily for the out.They were popping up the cutter, hitting it on the ground. A lot of ground balls, Paxton said. Guys were making great plays behind me. So thats what happens, you saw guys turn double plays.STATS AND STREAKSMorales was 0 for 3 before getting hit by a pitch in the ninth, allowing him to extend his streak of reaching safely to 21 starts. ... The Mariners lost for the fourth time when leading after eight innings. ... Cruz homered for the seventh time in his last 14 games.ROTATION REMOVALThe Royals are sending RHP Chris Young to the bullpen and will start RHP Dillon Gee or LHP Brian Flynn in Sundays series finale.

Sydney coach John Longmire says its time for everyone to move on after his co-skipper Kieren Jack ended a tumultuous week with a key role in the Swans 38-point AFL triumph over Geelong.Jack was thrust into the spotlight on the eve of his 200th game when a family spat also involving his girlfriend, his mother and his father, former rugby league great Garry Jack, became public knowledge.But far from retreating into his shell, the combative Jack burst out of the blocks with the opening goal of the match at Simonds Stadium.He ended the night with a game-high three goals and 24 possessions before being joined in an emotional post-match huddle by his younger brother and teammate Brandon, who was an emergency for the clash at Simonds Stadium.Kieren went through a tough week, Longmire said.Its been well written and documented and I think everyone is over it to be honest.I think we all need to move on from it.The players obviously supported him and Brandon in a really strong way but in the end I think its time that everyone moved on.The Swans dominated the midfield battle and also got great returns from a number of their youngest players including defenders Calllum Mills and Aliir Aliir.ddddddddddddrom the first bounce I thought we played a really good, strong brand of footy, Longmire said.They came at us a bit in the second quarter but I thought our leaders were sensational and our kids were super tonight.Someone told me before we came in that we had four (players who had played) under 10 games and eight under 30.Aliirs ability to hold down a key defensive position allowed Longmire to keep regular fullback Ted Richards in the forward line for the entirety of the match.We were hoping by now that Sam Reid would be back but hes not and with Kurt (Tippett) out as well we thought we needed another tall, particularly down here on a longer ground, said Longmire.Ted hasnt played a lot of football recently as a forward but he did as a young fella.He knows his stuff and he played a role for us.He had three shots at goal and was just another marking target in our forward line.The Swans will draw level on points with ladder leaders Hawthorn if they win Thursday nights huge clash at the SCG.
