Mariners' Ninth Inning Rally Falls Short as Orioles Prevail at Camden Yards

The Seattle Mariners faced off against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with the Mariners holding a 67-54 record and the Orioles standing at 54-66. The game concluded with a close score of 4-3 in favor of the O's.

First Inning

The opening inning saw both teams struggling to make an impact, with neither side managing to score. The Mariners had no hits while the Birds also remained hitless, setting a cautious tone for what would become an intense matchup.

Seventh Inning

As tension mounted by the seventh inning, both teams finally broke through their scoring droughts. The M’s managed to put up their first run on the board thanks to two hits in this inning. However, it was Baltimore who made a significant leap forward by scoring three runs on five hits and capitalizing on two errors from Seattle's side.

Ninth Inning

Heading into the ninth inning, Seattle trailed behind but showed resilience. They added two more runs courtesy of one hit and strategic plays that kept fans hopeful for a comeback. Despite their efforts, including standout performances from players like J.P. Crawford who maintained an impressive .667 average in previous games, it wasn't enough to surpass Baltimore's lead.

The Emerald City team displayed commendable pitching skills throughout; Logan Gilbert stood out with his ERA of 2.842 over his innings pitched previously but couldn't secure victory this time around due to late-game challenges faced by their bullpen which allowed crucial runs during key moments.
