Castillo falters, M's blow 9-run lead; KC's 11-run 6th wins

Luis Castillo, fresh off signing a rich contract with Seattle, got chased as the Kansas City Royals erupted for 11 runs in the sixth inning and a wild, 13-12 win Sunday that cost the Mariners a chance to move up in the AL wild-card standings. Seattle remained four games ahead of Baltimore for that last AL playoff slot. “We haven’t played good baseball on this trip,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said.
