Notes:  The sixth win in a row for the Royals, matching their season-best streak.  Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners matched a long-standing Major League record with his 200th hit, an infield single in the eighth inning. That's eight straight seasons with 200 or more hits. Only Willie Keeler did that previously, way back in 1894-1901 with the Brooklyn National League club.
