Starting pitcher Bryan Woo dominated the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 3-0 win and securing the series. Woo's stellar performance included striking out nine batters over seven innings, marking a significant bounce-back after recent struggles. The Mariners' offense provided all the necessary support in the first inning. With two outs, Josh Naylor singled, advanced on an error, and then scored on Cole Young's RBI double. Shortstop Colt Emerson followed with a two-RBI single, bringing home Young and Dominic Canzone to establish the final 3-0 score.
Despite the absence of outfielders Randy Arozarena and Luke Raley for the entire series, and other key players missing games, the Mariners found a way to win. Manager Dan Wilson acknowledged the team's injuries but emphasized the focus on winning the series. Emerson, who struggled the previous day, showcased resilience with his timely hit. Eduard Bazardo and closer Andres Munoz sealed the shutout, with Munoz earning his 12th save.
The Mariners will now look to carry this momentum into a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox, beginning Friday at T-Mobile Park. This win kept the Mariners ahead in the American League West standings.
