It was “Turn Back the Clock Day” at T-Mobile Field and the Seattle Mariners were commemorating the arrival of Major League Baseball in the Pacific Northwest by donning replicas of the uniforms worn by the expansion Seattle Pilots in 1969.
Of course, the Orioles had to do their part by wearing replica uniforms from the same year, which meant they entered Saturday’s game mired in a 10-game losing streak dressed like the team that won the most regular-season games in franchise history.
So, it was only fair that the Mariners played like the 98-loss Pilots and the Orioles played like the 109-win team that won the American League pennant, as Baltimore snapped its season-long losing streak with an 8-4 victory.
