League gave up a run in the ninth on Wilson Betemit's single, but finished for his third save.
"Pineda's fastball is as good as I've ever seen," said Wright, a 13-year major league veteran. "He throws strikes and attacks hitters with it. His breaking stuff is only to get better. When you're throwing 97-98 (mph) there's so much more you can get away with. He's going to be good. Once his breaking stuff gets even better, he has a chance to be really special."
The Royals entered the game leading the American League with a .279 average, but managed just five hits, matching their season low.
"The kid's got electric stuff," Royals manager Ned Yost said of Pineda.
Ryan laced a single to left in the seventh to score Justin Smoak and Miguel Olivo to snap a 1-all tie. Smoak led off the inning with a single and advanced to second when Olivo ended an 0-for-27 skid with a single. Ryan Langerhans' sacrifice bunt advanced both runners.
Blake Wood then replaced Jeff Francis and Ryan brought home both runners with a hit on a 3-1 pitch. The Mariners won for only the third time in 14 games.NOTES: RHP David Aardsma, who saved 31 games last season for the Mariners, will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Tacoma. Aardsma had hip surgery in January and is on the disabled list.
