- Tai gave up more hits than Mariners got
- the bullpen pitched one more inning than Tai but, also gave up one more run
- TWO double-plays turned but also an error (Nellie) and a PB (Zu)
- Elias was EXCELLENT: SEVEN.TWO innings ~ SIX hits ~ ONE earned run ~ ZERO walks ~ FOUR strikeouts
- the bottom of the order did the producing: batters 6-9 w/all FOUR RBI (Justin w/a TWO-run homer)
- Nando made it a bit interesting in the 9th but, in the end, recorded his TENTH save and Roenis’s FIRST victory
Mariners 4 | Orioles 5 (rain delayed)
- JA’s roughest outing to date but, had the rain not come, might have been different: he gave up a grand slam in the 1st but, ended up striking out the side in the 2nd but, the rain delay after the top of the 3rd he wasn’t able to get a shot at redemption
- the bats came back after the delay: TEN total hits but, all singles and only THREE for FIFTEEN w/RISP
- the BP of Tom, Mark, Joe and Charlie put up THREE.TWO hitless/scoreless innings after the delay (w/SIX strikeouts)
- enter Lord Farquhar 😦 who gave up TWO hits and the winning run
