Dustin Ackley delivered a pinch-hit go-ahead single in a 2-1 win over the Royals on Saturday. After Jason Vargas retired the first two batters in the top of the ninth inning, Kyle Seager doubled and Stefen Romero reached on an infield single. Ackley then brought Seager home with a single to right field. It was a big moment for the 26-year-old, who came into Saturday's action with a .204 batting average this month. The Mariners have now rallied in the ninth inning in back-to-back days while the Royals have lost three straight.
