Mariners Shut Out Orioles in Tight Pitching Duel
13 Aug
Summary
- Mariners pitcher George Kirby throws 7 three-hit innings
- Mariners beat Orioles 1-0 for 8th straight win
- Naylor's RBI single in 1st inning provides only run
In a closely contested game on August 14, 2025, the Seattle Mariners emerged victorious over the Baltimore Orioles with a 1-0 shutout. Mariners pitcher George Kirby delivered a dominant performance, tossing seven three-hit innings and striking out seven batters without issuing a single walk.
The lone run of the game came in the first inning when Josh Naylor drove in a run with an RBI single. This proved to be all the offense the Mariners needed, as their bullpen of Eduard Bazardo, Gabe Speier, and Andrés Muñoz held the Orioles scoreless for the remainder of the game.
The win allowed the Mariners to pull within a half-game of the AL West-leading Houston Astros, who were playing the Boston Red Sox on the same night. Despite the Mariners' offensive struggles, with star catcher Cal Raleigh going 0-for-4, their pitching staff was able to keep the Orioles at bay and secure the victory.
The Mariners will look to continue their hot streak on August 16, 2025, when they send Logan Gilbert to the mound against the Orioles' Trevor Rogers.
