Why Mariners Called up Curtis Washington Jr. Directly From High-A Everett
Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, returning from the injured list, hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh inning as Seattle defeated the visiting Baltimore Orioles 3-1 on Tuesday.
Following an injury-plagued 10-game road trip with a 4-6 record, the Mariners faced additional roster chaos when left fielder Randy Arozarena, first baseman Josh Naylor, and outfielder Luke Raley were sidelined by injuries.
Right-Hander Logan Gilbert delivered one of his best outings, allowing one run on two hits with 10 strikeouts over seven innings. Gilbert and Raleigh, described as an 'odd couple' duo, formed a formidable battery.
Relief pitcher Eduard Bazardo worked a scoreless eighth inning, and closer Andres Munoz sealed the victory with a scoreless ninth, earning his 11th save of the season.
Amid a rash of injuries, Seattle must navigate the weeks ahead to maintain its American League West lead. A crowd of 27,396 witnessed the Mariners' resilience.
