Wells, Rutschman help Orioles
dominate Mariners 9-2

Tyler Wells
pitched five nearly perfect innings, Adley Rutschman drove one of Baltimore’s
five home runs and the Orioles three-hit the Seattle Mariners in a 9-2 victory
Monday night.
Wells (6-4) was
perfect until allowing Cal Raleigh’s homer with two outs in the fifth inning.
He retired the next batter before handing off to the bullpen, finishing with
three strikeouts on 63 pitches.
Joey Krehbiel
and Keegan Akin combined to close out Baltimore’s gem. Akin got his first save
with 3 1/3 scoreless innings.
“Just the
ability to hit spots, just trying to attack the zone, it kind of worked out for
me” Wells said. “It felt like I had a good fastball tonight, it’s the best that
it’s felt in a while.”
Mariners starter
George Kirby (2-3) allowed seven runs on nine hits, including four homers, over
four innings.
Rutschman, a
touted rookie from Sherwood, Oregon, who starred at Oregon State, had an RBI
single in the first inning that skipped off second baseman Adam Frazier’s
glove. Baltimore added another run in the second on an RBI double from center
fielder Cedric Mullins.
Rutschman and
Ryan Mountcastle hit back-to-back homers in the third inning for a 4-0 lead,
and Anthony Santander and Austin Hays clubbed consecutive drives in the fourth
for a 7-0 advantage. Jorge Mateo added a solo shot in the sixth.
“We’ve got a lot of confidence right now,”
Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. “Our dugout is as good as I’ve seen it
since I’ve been here. It’s just super positive, guys are really pulling for
each other, and there’s a lot of energy in there right now.”
Rutschman’s home
run was special, as it came with his family in the stands for his first career
big league game at T-Mobile Park. Rutschman’s family made the three-hour drive
from his hometown and cheered loudly from their seats behind the visitors’
dugout when Rutschman homered.
It was the first
time Rutschman’s grandfather, Ad, had seen him play in person as a major
leaguer.
“It’s just so
special,” Rutschman said. “Home run or not, just having him in the stands
again, is just so extremely important and special for me and my family. Having
him be a person I look up to so much, it just means the world to me.”
Mountcastle’s
shot one batter later ended Seattle’s franchise-record run of 24 consecutive
games without a starter giving up at least four runs.
“We haven’t had that game in quite some time,”
Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “Our starting pitching has been really the
anchor for us over the last month or so. The guys have been so darn
consistent.”
The Mariners
scored their second run in the sixth on a double off the left-field wall from
Eugenio Suarez that scored Julio Rodriguez.
DAY AFTER
Three Mariners players were suspended Monday for their roles in a brawl with
the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday: outfielder Jesse Winker got seven games,
shortstop J.P. Crawford got five and outfielder Julio Rodríguez got two.
All three
players appealed and were in the Mariners lineup on Monday night.
ROSTER MOVES
The Mariners acquired INF Carlos Santana and cash from the Kansas City Royals
in exchange for minor league pitcher William Fleming and RHP Wyatt Mills.
Santana is hitting .216 this season with four homers and 21 RBI.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: OF Kyle Lewis was on the field before the game and is getting close
to going on a minor league rehab assignment. ... INF Ty France is hitting in
the batting cage as he works his way back from an elbow strain, and manager
Scott Servais is hopeful he can return at the end of his 10-day IL stint.
Orioles: INF

strain that landed him on the 10-Day IL on June 11.
UP NEXT

has been dominant in his past three starts, allowing 10 total hits and two
earned runs while striking out 20.

against Seattle. Kremer pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing seven
