Kyle Bradish delivered an impressive performance, striking out a career-high 12 batters and allowing just one run over 7 2/3 innings, as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Seattle Mariners 5-3, ending a three-game losing streak. Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday contributed with home runs, while Blaze Alexander went 3 for 3 with a walk and a stolen base. Despite a late scare from the Mariners, with Dominic Canzone and Cole Young hitting back-to-back homers in the ninth, the Orioles held on for the win. Julio Rodríguez of the Mariners made history by becoming the third-fastest player to reach 125 homers, doubles, and stolen bases, but left the game due to a hamstring spasm. The series concludes with Orioles’ Shane Baz facing Mariners’ Bryan Woo.
QUESTION: How might the Orioles’ victory and Bradish’s standout performance influence the team’s momentum for the rest of the season?
