BALTIMORE (AP) --- Josh Naylor hit a grand slam during a five-run fifth inning
and the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on Monday night.
Randy Arozarena had three hits for the AL West-leading Mariners, who have won
10 of their last 13 games.
Baltimore, which was 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position, has lost three
in a row for the first time since getting swept May 18-20 at Tampa Bay.
The Mariners tied it at 1 in the fifth on Ryan Bliss' one-out sacrifice fly.
Cole Young's single ended Baltimore rookie Trey Gibson's outing, and reliever
Anthony Nunez walked Julio Rodrguez to load the bases. Naylor then lofted a
fly just over the wall in right for his seventh homer of the season.
The Orioles closed within 5-2 in the seventh when reliever Matt Brash's wild
pitch reached the backstop and allowed Coby Mayo to score. Brash nearly walked
Pete Alonso to force in another run two batters later, but Seattle challenged
and Alonso was out on a called third strike. Colton Cowser grounded out to
leave the bases loaded.
Baltimore also had a run removed following a review in the eighth a batter
after Blaze Alexander's RBI single made it 6-3. Pinch hitter Samuel Basallo
made the second out on an apparent sacrifice fly to center, but video review
found that Rodrguez threw out Alexander at second before a tagging Jackson
Holliday scored.
Emerson Hancock (5-2) allowed a run in five innings and struck out three.
Andrs Muoz worked a scoreless ninth for his 10th save in 15 chances.
Gibson (1-1), who was recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Norfolk to
replace the injured Chris Bassitt on the roster, yielded three runs in 4 2/3
innings.
Seattle scratched shortstop Colt Emerson due to back tightness.
