KANSAS CITY, Mo. — \u2014 Adam Frazier<\/a> hit a go-ahead, two-run home run in the eighth inning and the Kansas City Royals<\/a> went on to beat Seattle 7-5 on Wednesday night and snap the Mariners’ 10-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

Eugenio Su\u00e1rez snapped an 0-for-32 skid with four hits, two RBI and two runs for Seattle, which, with Houston’s win, dropped a half-game back of the Astros in the AL West.<\/p>\n

Lucas Erceg<\/a> (8-4) earned the win despite giving up the lead on J.P. Crawford<\/a>‘s homer in eighth. Carlos Est\u00e9vez allowed a ninth-inning run, but picked up his MLB-best 40th save.<\/p>\n

Seattle’s Matt Brash<\/a> (1-3) gave up four runs and four hits in two-thirds of an inning.<\/p>\n

Cole Ragans<\/a>, making his first start for Kansas City since June 5, allowed two runs on one hit through 3 2\/3 innings. He struck out four and walked two. He had been on the IL with a strained left rotator cuff. He threw his first six pitches for strikes and struck out the side on 10 pitches in the first inning.<\/p>\n

Seattle’s Bryce Miller<\/a> allowed three runs on eight hits in five innings.<\/p>\n

Salvador Perez<\/a> opened the scoring in the first with a 435-foot, three-run home run to center field.<\/p>\n

Su\u00e1rez answered with a 416-foot, two-run home run in the second inning to cut the deficit to 3-2. Su\u00e1rez led off the seventh with a double and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Mitch Garver<\/a>.<\/p>\n
