Mark and Brent are back with the Eternal Baseball Podcast - they'll take you through the week that was as Season Five starts its stretch run, then it's off to the Emerald City for our Game of the Week.

The Royals’ run to the top of the A.L. South division takes them straight to Seattle, where they’ll face a Mariners team in need of a spark. Kansas City has won four of their last five series, including two over the Yankees and one over these same Mariners to climb 14 games up on the second-place Rangers and Knights. Seattle has lost 13 of their last 18 games, dropping them 11 games behind the Yankees and Angels for an American League Wild Card spot.

The Royals send right-hander Kevin Appier (10-9, 4.18 ERA) to the mound while the Mariners are activating Luis Castillo (in place of Jamie Moyer) for his first start of Season Five.
