Orioles rally past Mariners for 5th straight win
June 5 - Heston Kjerstad's two-run triple in the seventh inning proved decisive as the Baltimore Orioles rallied to defeat the host Seattle Mariners 3-2 Wednesday night. Adley Rutschman homered for the Orioles, who won their season-high fifth straight game and improved to 8-2 over their past 10. Cal Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double with an RBI and a run scored for the Mariners, who dropped to 3-5 on their nine-game homestand that concludes Thursday. Orioles reliever Yennier Cano (1-4) got the victory and Felix Bautista worked the ninth for his 11th save. Trailing 2-1 in the seventh, Ramon Urias drew a base on balls. With two outs, the Mariners brought in Carlos Vargas (1-4) to face Coby Mayo, but the move backfired as Vargas walked him on four straight pitches. Kjerstad then hit a fly ball that landed just fair down the right-field line and rolled to the wall, scoring both runners. The Mariners had just one hit through the first three innings, a dribbler down the third-base line by Julio Rodriguez in the first, before Raleigh led off the bottom of the fourth with a ground-rule double down the right-field line. Rodriguez blooped a single to center before Randy Arozarena hit a sacrifice fly to the warning track in center to open the scoring. The Orioles tied it on Rutschman's 415-foot blast to right-center with two outs in the sixth. The Mariners regained the lead in the bottom of the inning after Ben Williamson was hit by a pitch and J.P. Crawford walked. Raleigh drove in the run with a liner down the left-field line but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Crawford tried to score on a grounder to shortstop Gunnar Henderson and was originally called safe by home-plate umpire Jeremie Rehak, but Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino challenged the play and a video review determined catcher Rutschman got the tag down just before Crawford touched the plate. Both starters pitched well, though neither factored into the decision. Orioles lefty Cade Povich allowed two runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings, with one walk and five strikeouts. Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock gave up two hits and one run over 5 2/3 innings, with two walks and six strikeouts. --Field Level Media

Orioles rookie Coby Mayo gets his first big league RBI and then clears benches vs. White Sox
BALTIMORE (AP) — Coby Mayo cleared the bases — and the benches — with his first big league RBI. With a runner on second and two outs in the fourth inning of Baltimore's 4-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday, the Orioles designated hitter singled to left field to drive in Ryan O'Hearn. Mayo, called up from the minors earlier in the day, rounded first after his first RBI in his 22nd major league game but got caught in a rundown. Second baseman Lenyn Sosa tossed to first baseman Miguel Vargas and Mayo collided with Sosa with both arms — to try to draw an interference call — and fell as he was heading to second. Vargas tagged Mayo out, but Sosa took exception to Mayo's shove. The two were talking when Mayo picked up his helmet from the ground and then pushed Sosa in the left shoulder as he was walking away. That sent players from both teams onto the field, where there was a little pushing and shoving before order was quickly restored without incident. 'Obviously, I was just trying to get to second base,' Mayo said after the game. 'I was trying to get into scoring position for Heston (Kjerstad) and (Chicago) cuts it off and I got into a rundown. I was being told in the minor leagues to try to stay in a rundown. 'I thought he was in the baseline and just tried to get some contact and didn't mean for it to escalate. I wasn't trying to do that. It just, it did.' Sosa said through an interpreter that he didn't like how Mayo handled things. 'I think he tried to make a dirty play and after that, I just went to him and tried to ask him, 'Why did you do that?'' Sosa told reporters. 'His reaction was to push me.' White Sox manager Will Venable downplayed the situation. 'I don't think it was that big a deal,' he said. 'Probably just Mayo trying to make a play and get an interference call and (I'm) sure Sosa just didn't appreciate getting run into intentionally. But yeah, not a big deal.' The 23-year-old Mayo, considered one of the Orioles' top prospects, entered with a career .094 batting average. He went 1 for 12 in four games earlier this season with Baltimore after going 4 for 41 in 17 games last season. Mayo, who went 1 for 3 on Saturday, is now batting .133 this season in the majors. ___ AP MLB:
