Ichiro powers M's

SEATTLE (AP) - Ichiro Suzuki had four hits, including a homer, to help the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 7-3 on Friday night.

Miguel Olivo and Justin Smoak each added three hits for the Mariners. Olivo fell a single short of the cycle.

Blake Beaven (4-5) gave up three runs in 6 1/3 innings, retiring 13 straight batters during one stretch.

Jeff Francis (5-16) allowed five runs in 3 1/3 innings. It could have been worse had Kansas City right fielder Jeff Francoeur not made an amazing catch in right field, taking a home run away from Seattle second baseman Dustin Ackley in the third inning.
