SEATTLE -- Jason Vargas used his "accelerator" to control the strike zone and it meant his first road victory of the season. It came at a place where he felt like home. Vargas allowed three hits over seven innings and the Kansas City Royals had 16 hits -- all singles -- in a 6-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. Vargas (3-1), who pitched for the Mariners for four seasons (2009-12), struck out six without a walk. He is 3-1 with a 1.59 ERA in four career starts against his former team. His 2.30 ERA at Safeco Field is tied for the seventh best for a starter in park history Vargas signed a four-year, free-agent deal with the Royals in November. "When hes on his game, like he was tonight, he really works the accelerator really well," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He pushes down with the fastball, backs off with the changeup. Good curveball. "What pitchers like Vargie do so well is they disrupt the opposition hitters timing. He did that extremely well tonight." Vargas said controlling the strike zone is always his goal "but the execution is not always the same. ... Tonight I was able control counts and able to make pitches down in the strike zone." Salvador Perez, Eric Gordon and Eric Hosmer had three hits each for the Royals while Nori Aoki and Lorenzo Cain had two each. The Mariners have scored just two runs and have 10 hits over the past three games. Brandon Maurer (1-1) took the loss, allowing 14 hits, six runs -- four earned -- and did not walk or strike out a batter. The 14 hits Maurer allowed were just one short of the team record set by Greg Hibbard on May 24, 1994. "This was a weird, weird game," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "Maurer threw the ball extremely well, gave up two hard hits. They were persistent, put the bat on the ball and found some holes. "It was one of those nights. I didnt look up to see if it was a full moon or not. It was weird." The first hit Vargas allowed came in the third, a one-out single by Mike Zunino. Shortstop Alcides Escobar knocked the hard grounder down but it rolled a few feet away. The other hits were Dustin Ackleys line single to centre in the fifth and Robinson Canos ground single to right in the seventh. "He mixed it up and threw strikes," Mariners third baseman Will Bloomquist said of Vargas. "I saw a couple changeups and they were kind of Jamie Moyer-like, coming out of the back of his hand and falling off pretty good. He threw the ball well." The Royals pieced together rallies off Maurer. Only one run scored on a hit. The rest scored on an error, a sacrifice fly, a double play and two on fielders choices. "We dont care how we get the runs," Hosmer said. "Any way we can produce them. Thats what we need to do. As an offence, we just have to bear down and find ways to produce runs." Aoki opened the game with a single to right followed by Hosmers single to right, with Aoki sprinting to third. Aoki scored on Billy Butlers bouncer to Bloomquist, who tried to start a double play but threw wildly to second, pulling Cano off the bag. Initially, the umpires ruled Hosmer safe on an apparent error but Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon challenged the call. After a review, it was ruled that Cano dragged his left toe across the bag while in possession of the ball. Hosmer was ruled out. Perez bounced into a double play to end the inning. Hosmers sacrifice fly in the third put the Royals up 2-0. Mariners shortstop Brad Millers throwing error in the fourth allowed two more runs. Perez opened with a single followed by a clean bunt single by Gordon. Johnny Giavotella then bounced a potential double-play ball to short but Millers flip to second sailed into right field and Perez scored. Gordon would later score the second run on Cains double-play grounder. Kansas City made it 5-0 in the sixth when Butler scored on Giavotellas fielders choice. Cains one-out single in the eighth scored Perez from second to make it 6-0, ending Maurers evening. The Mariners scored in the eighth off reliever Aaron Crow. Miller drew a one-out walk. Pinch-hitter James Jones then stroked a two-out double into the right-field corner. Miller had stopped at third then trotted home on right-fielder Aokis throwing error. NOTES: Mariners LHP James Paxton, who started the season at 2-0 before suffering a strained lat muscle, threw 25 pitches in a bullpen session before the game. RHP Taijuan Walker (right shoulder impingement) will have his first bullpen session Sunday. There is no timetable for either pitcher. Also, RHP Stephen Pryor, coming off shoulder surgery, is back with Triple-A Tacoma. . Kyle Seager was a late scratch for the Mariners because of flu-like symptoms. Bloomquist replaced him. . The Royals pre-game move to promote Giavotella was necessary because of Omar Infantes ailing back. Infante missed Thursdays game and will be rested for the series. Giavotella was hitting .352 for Triple-A Omaha. To make room, the club sent RHP Michael Mariot to Omaha. Barry Sanders Jersey . As they are wont to do, the Spurs made things real easy.

I think that particular statistic usually leads to winning football games.As far as the other thing, obviously, youre just trying to win this football game, Manning said. But when asked about it, I have reflected on how many great teammates and coaches that Ive been with along the way that have been a part of that. You dont throw that many touchdowns without a lot of help.Its not just the 44 players who have caught one of Mannings TD throws, but the rest of his teammates and coaches.As my old centre Jeff Saturday said, the only reason Ive thrown that many is because I had great protection for so many years. Typical lineman speaking, especially one in the media now, Manning said. But to tell you the truth, hes right. There are so many people that have helped me along the way.Hell face men who made big early impressions on him Sunday when the Denver Broncos (2-1) host Arizona (3-0).Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was Mannings first quarterback coach when Manning arrived in the NFL in 1998. And Arizonas assistant head coach Tom Moore was his offensive co-ordinator during his 13 seasons in Indianapolis.The Cardinals would love to delay Mannings milestone another week, but they know as well as anyone that its probably just wishful thinking.Thats tough because Peyton always finds a way to get the ball in the end zone, Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said.The last time Manning didnt throw a TD pass was Nov. 14, 2010, against Cincinnati.So, chances are No. 500 will come sometime Sunday.Hell probably brush it off like its just another touchdown, Denver nose tackle Terrance Knighton said. But I know it means a lot to him.And chances are Mannings touchstone touchdownn wont come down in the arms of a receiver, either.ddddddddddddight ends Julius Thomas (five) and Jacob Tamme (two) have accounted for all but one of Mannings eight TD tosses this season.Newcomer Emmanuel Sanders went into the Broncos bye last week as the league leader in catches (25) and yards (334), yet he still waiting to spike a TD toss from him a€” unlike Denver defensive tackle Mitch Unrein.Its still kind of a shock to me that I have a touchdown from Peyton, Unrein said.Sanders cant wait to join the list.With 14 catches so far, Thomas jokingly asked Sanders on Wednesday if he could spare a reception.All right, Sanders retorted. Ill trade you for a touchdown.Thomas said Sanders can have No. 500 if he wants it.Ive already got a couple milestones, said Thomas, who caught Mannings 51st TD throw that broke Tom Bradys single-season record last year. It was one of his dozen TD receptions that surpassed Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpes team record for tight ends.I hope they throw it to me, said Knighton, noting that a jelly-belly lineman a few lockers down caught one.Unrein lined up at fullback on Dec. 2, 2012, slipped into the left flat unencumbered on first-and-goal from the 1 and hauled in Mannings floater to help the Broncos beat Tampa Bay 31-23.Manning has thrown 100 TD passes in the regular season since his arrival in Denver.His first in a Broncos uniform was the 400th of his career and it came on a 71-yard screen pass to Demaryius Thomas.Manning figures to surpass Favres record of 508 TD throws later this month.Behind them are Dan Marino (420), Drew Brees (370), Brady (363), Fran Tarkenton (342) and John Elway (300).Told he has nearly 200 more TD passes than his boss, Manning said: He probably has a few more rushing touchdowns that I do.Elway has 33 of those, Manning, 18.Notes: LB Lerentee McCray (knee) practiced for the first time since getting hurt against Kansas City on Sept. 14. That left S David Bruton (ankle) as the only player who didnt practice. RG Louis Vasquez (ribcage) was limited. ... Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw and point guard Ty Lawson attended Wednesdays practice.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
