The offense missed opportunities and the bullpen faltered in a tight game that the Orioles ended up losing. You could say this has been a familiar script in 2018. The O’s carried a lead into the eighth inning, but lost it and lost 3-2 to the Mariners at Camden Yards.
Kevin Gausman started for the Orioles and pitched well. He allowed one run on five hits in six innings of work and lowered his ERA to 4.20. He was locked in a nice pitchers’ duel with M’s starter James Paxton. Paxton was as advertised, allowing two runs in seven innings and punching out ten Orioles.
