Rutschman and Henderson hit back-to-back homers and Orioles beat Mariners 4-3 for 3-game sweep
SEATTLE (AP) — Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Thursday to complete a three-game sweep and extend their season-best winning streak to six games. After the Orioles (25-36) played so poorly through mid-May that manager Brandon Hyde was fired after leading them to back-to-back playoff appearances, they looked like a contender against a strong Seattle squad. Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 24th homer of the season for the Mariners, a two-run shot in the fifth that made it 3-1. Rutschman tied it in the next inning when he lined an 0-2 pitch from Bryan Woo (5-3) to left for a two-run homer. Three pitches later, Henderson pounced on a fastball from Woo and drove it to over the wall in right. Zach Eflin (5-2) allowed three runs on eight hits in six innings to win for the second time during the streak. The Orioles have allowed three runs or fewer in each of the six wins. With closer Félix Bautista unavailable after finishing Baltimore's previous two victories at Seattle, Bryan Baker struck out two in a scoreless ninth for his second save. Seattle was swept at home for the second time this season after Toronto did it last month. Key moment Raleigh hit a deep fly ball to center in the eighth against Andrew Kittredge, but the ballpark held it and Baltimore maintained the lead. Key stat Rutschman broke out of a 5-for-56 skid by going 6 for 12 with two homers and three RBIs in the series. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter.

Seattle Mariners pitcher George Kirby takes line drive to face, exits game
Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby exited Tuesday night's 5-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles after taking a line drive to his right thumb and mouth. Article content After the contest, Kirby said he felt pretty good and that neither his hand nor face hurt despite some swelling on the right side of his mouth. Article content Article content 'I didn't even see it coming,' Kirby said. 'Just put my hand up. So, just glad it kind of missed any of the bad spots on my face.' Article content With two outs in the fifth inning, Kirby threw a fastball inside to Orioles third baseman Ramon Urias, which he promptly ripped right back up the middle. The baseball made contact with Kirby's face, and he immediately jogged off the field as blood flowed from his mouth. Article content George Kirby with a line drive off of his face — Jared Barth (@jared_barth1998) June 4, 2025 Article content Kirby was promptly attended to by the Mariners training staff after what manager Dan Wilson called a 'scary' moment. 'It's just so close and you just hope for the best,' Wilson said. 'It looked like he was a little surprised by it all, even as he was walking off. Article content 'But, he was able to gather it all together. There was some blood coming down when he came off the field where it nicked him in the face. But, I think he's going to be okay.' Article content Kirby did not return for the sixth inning, although he had already thrown 95 pitches by the time of his departure. It was easily Kirby's best start of the season, considering he entered the contest with an 11.42 ERA across two appearances since being activated from the injured list. Article content The 27-year-old right-hander's start to the season was delayed until late May due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder, and he hadn't yet pitched to his standard. Kirby wasn't perfect, but was pleased to give up only two runs across five innings before being lifted for reliever Eduard Bazardo. Article content Article content 'I feel great right now,' Kirby said. 'Obviously, you don't want to throw that many pitches in five innings, but I'm glad I feel really good from it after it. So, that's a good sign.' Article content So, too, is it a good sign from Wilson's standpoint that Kirby is so upbeat. The starter is still expected to have X-rays done on Wednesday, after which the team will learn more. For as challenging a start to the season as it's been for Kirby, Wilson has the utmost confidence in him to bounce back. Article content 'George is a competitor. We know that,' Wilson said. 'A lot of times, these things can make you stronger, and that's what I expect from George. Again, hopefully it's nothing serious and it's just kind of a bump in the road.' Article content
