Mariners pitcher George Kirby takes 165km/h baseball to the face in scary scenes
Mariners pitcher George Kirby was left bloodied in a scary scene Tuesday night when he was hit in the face with a 165km/h line drive off the bat of Orioles infielder Ramon Urias. Luckily, Kirby used his catlike reflexes to get his hand and glove up right before the ball the ball struck him in the fifth inning of a 5-1 loss, the New York Post reports. Kirby had blood on his face after being hit, but avoided a broken jaw or any other serious injury in what proved to be his final pitch after the Mariners converted an out on the play. '(Feeling) pretty good,' Kirby said after the game, per the Seattle Times. 'Didn't even hurt, honestly. It got my hand — like 50/50 hand (and) mouth. But we're good.' While the Mariners suffered a loss Tuesday, they are certainly counting their blessings that Kirby got his hand up to brace some of the impact and avoid a potential devastating injury. Mariners manager Dan Wilson told reporters postgame that Kirby would get X-rays to be sure that he avoided the worst and even expressed optimism that Kirby could make his next start. 'I didn't even see it coming, just put my hand up,' Kirby said, per 'I'm just glad it kind of missed any of the bad spots on my face.' Kirby had struggled through three starts, but Tuesday marked one of his best showings this season. The righty allowed two runs over five innings while striking out three batters. His night ended on said play when the ball caromed off his face toward first baseman Rowdy Tellez to end the top of the inning with a 2-1 deficit. He currently lines up to face the Angels on Sunday, but Kirby could have that pushed back as he breathes a sigh of relief that this situation wasn't much worse. After Tuesday's loss, the Mariners are 32-27 and a half-game behind the division-leading Astros.

Orioles take down Mariners for 4th straight win
June 4 - Tomoyuki Sugano pitched seven strong innings as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the host Seattle Mariners 5-1 on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series. Colton Cowser homered for Baltimore, which won its fourth consecutive game and prevailed for the seventh time in its past nine. Rowdy Tellez went deep for the Mariners, who fell a half-game behind the Houston Astros in the American League West. Sugano (5-3), a right-hander, allowed one run on five hits with one walk and five strikeouts. The only mistake Sugano made came with two outs in the second inning, when Tellez launched a 1-0 curveball that stayed over the middle of the plate 404 feet off the windows of Hit It Here Cafe on the second deck in right field at T-Mobile Park to tie the score at 1-1. The Orioles took a 1-0 lead in the first as Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson and Ryan O'Hearn singled with one out to load the bases and Ramon Urias lifted a sacrifice fly to right field. Baltimore regained the lead in similar fashion in the fifth as Rutschman, Henderson and O'Hearn all singled, the latter bringing home the run. The inning ended with a scare as Urias lined a ball right back at the face of Mariners starter George Kirby (0-3). The righty got his pitching hand up to slightly deflect the ball before it hit him in the mouth. The ball ricocheted to first baseman Tellez, who stepped on the bag to end the inning. Kirby was bleeding from the mouth as he walked off the field. Kirby, making just his third start after beginning the season on the injured list with inflammation in his right shoulder, went five innings and gave up two runs on eight hits with one walk and three strikeouts. Cowser led off the sixth with a drive into the Mariners' bullpen in left-center off Eduard Bazardo to make it 3-1. The Orioles added a pair of insurance runs off Collin Snider in the ninth. Coby Mayo led off with a single and Heston Kjerstad lined an RBI double to right. With one out, Jackson Holliday lined a single to center to plate the game's final run. --Field Level Media
