KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Seattle Mariners desperately wanted to go into the All-Star break with a winning record.Robinson Cano and Adam Lind homered in a five-run seventh inning and the Mariners held off the Kansas City Royals 8-5 on Sunday.Canos two-run shot to deep right field for his 21st home run of the season extended the Mariners lead to 5-0. Lind hit a three-run shot, his 13th, a few batters later.A lot of good at-bats, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Guys were grinding. Definitely want to go to the break above .500. It was an important game for us today.The Mariners (45-44) head into the break above .500 for the second time since 2010, after going 51-44 in 2014.The Royals scored five runs over the final three innings, pulling within three on Alex Gordons homer leading off the ninth.Mike Montgomery (3-3) pitched 6 1/3 strong innings, giving up one run and five hits, in his first start of the season.Dillion Gee (3-3) struggled early and picked up the loss for the Royals, giving up three runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings.One of the key moments in Gees rough outing occurred in the first inning where an errant throw on a double play opportunity eventually led to Seattles first score.I kinda got caught in between when I came up to take a look at second, Gee said. It was right when the umpire was kinda like, making his way into position and I tried to slow up a little bit and it sailed on me. Just a costly mistakeBrett Eibner had three hits, including his third homer of the season in the seventh and an RBI single in the Royals three-run eighth.Despite the loss, the Royals went into the All-Star break with a winning record for the third straight season at 45-42.Kyle Seager had a two-run single in the first, and Ketel Marte added a run-scoring single in the fourth to give the Mariners a 3-0 lead.Marte finished the game with two hits in four at bats to go along with that run scoring single in the fourth inning.You know, see the ball, see the ball. If I feel good, I know Ill get on base. Marte said. I know Ive got the talent. I know I can hit. You know, Im trying to come back and give a hundred percent every day and see what happens after.Kendrys Morales bases-loaded walk pulled the Royals to 8-2 in the eighth, and Cheslor Cuthbert capped the three-run inning with a sacrifice fly.MASHING MARINERSSeattles two homers pushed it into second by themselves with a team total of 132 home runs on the season. ...
