In a game that saw both starters work themselves out of a number of jams, the Mariners survived the battle and came out on top, 5-4. Jarrod Washburn struggled more than Kansas City starter Odalis Perez, who only allowed one run in six innings. Washburn allowed four of his first five batters to reach, and two runs to socre, before escaping with Ryan Shealy grounding into an inning-ending double play. Despite his numerous jams, however, Washburn escaped allowing only three runs over six innings.

The M's offense was spearheaded by Jose Guillen, who has been smacking the tar out of the ball as he is about to enter his third different season playing outfield for an AL West team. Guillen hit two doubles which, combined with three hits by new DH and erstwhile #3 hitter Jose Vidro, who got the go-ahead RBI, and two hits from Jose Lopez, helped the Mariners grind out a victory over Kansas City.

Regardless of the fact that Willie Bloomquist only got one hit instead of four, the Mariners increased their spring training winning streak to four games.
