The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Wednesday night. The wim not only extended the team’s winning streak to five games, it also allowed the Orioles to put some distance between themselves and the MLB basemant. Five teams now have a worse record than Baltimore, albeit, three are so by mere percentage points.
Adley Rutschman (1 for 4, HR, R, RBI) hit his sixth homerun of the season in the sixth inning, tying the contest at one a piece. The homerun was Rutschman’s first since May 21st. The tie was temporary, however, as Seattle countered with a run of their own in the bottom of the inning, retaking the lead at 2-1.
