In a bullpen game and with their backs truly against the wall in the standings, the Braves were hoping to even the series at home against Baltimore.

The Kansas City Royals put together some good rallies tonight but, much to my chagrin, couldn’t sustain any of them or come up with a big hit as they fell 3-2 to the Seattle Mariners tonight at T-Mobile Park.
