Baltimore OriolesvsSeattle Mariners
BAL 1/SEA 3
Things to say
Mariners beat the Orioles 3-1 at T-Mobile Park.
01
opener
Mariners took care of business at home, 3-1 over Baltimore. Pitching duel most of the night, Seattle just had a little more in the tank. T-Mobile played big again.
02
key player
Seattle's arms were the story — held the O's to one run and kept the heart of the order off the bases all night.
03
hot take
Baltimore at 34-40 is starting to look like a seller, not a buyer. That lineup can't keep going quiet in low-scoring games.
04
deep cut
Orioles only put up one run in a park that's been playing a little more neutral this year — that's not a pitcher's park excuse, that's an offense problem.
05
exit
Anyway, gonna be interesting to see if Seattle can stack a couple more before the next series flips.
The recap
Mariners took care of business at home, beating Baltimore 3-1 in a tidy little pitchers' duel at T-Mobile. Seattle's arms kept the Orioles bats quiet all night, holding them to a single run while the lineup scratched across just enough to make it stick.
Baltimore drops to 34-40 and the slide keeps going, while Seattle inches back over .500 at 38-36. Nothing flashy, but a win's a win when you're trying to climb back into the AL West picture.
