Well, that certainly was not the way Baltimore hoped to kick off a road trip. Seattle roughed up Kyle Gibson to the tune of nine earned, and the Mariners defeated the Orioles 9-2 during the first of nine games out west.
The Mariners got to Gibson early and often. Julio Rodriguez immediately tested Cedric Mullins in center with a hard hit ball to start the first. Mullins made a jumping catch at the wall, and Rodriguez lifted his helmet to pay his respects. Unfortunately, the vibes plummeted after the first out.
Eugenio Suarez ripped a single 107 MPH off the bat, and Cal Raleigh launched his 20th homer of the season to make it 2-0.
