BALTIMORE (Interstat) — Brandon Young pitched seven scoreless innings and Jackson Holliday delivered a grand slam in the seventh as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Seattle Mariners 7-2 on Wednesday night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

The Orioles snapped a two-game losing streak and improved to 32-37, while the Mariners fell to 36-33 after dropping the middle game of a three‑game series. Baltimore had lost the first two games of the set, 6‑5 in 10 innings Tuesday and 6‑3 on Monday.

Young, who entered with a 4‑1 record, scattered two hits, walked one and struck out five over seven innings. He retired the first eight batters he faced and faced only one runner in scoring position through the first five innings. The right‑hander allowed his first hit when Dominic Canzone singled with two outs in the second, but Young stranded him by striking out Miles Mastrobuoni. The only other Seattle hit off Young came in the third on a Cole Young single, but he was left on base when Josh Naylor grounded out.

George Kirby started for Seattle and took the loss, falling to 5‑6. Kirby allowed three runs on five hits and three walks over six innings, striking out six. He worked around a leadoff single in the second when Leody Taveras was caught stealing, and escaped a bases‑loaded jam in the third by striking out Pete Alonso and Leody Taveras after a Sam Huff single and walks to Taylor Ward and Gunnar Henderson loaded the bases.

The game remained scoreless through five innings as both pitchers dominated. Seattle managed only two hits through the first five frames and did not advance a runner past second base. Baltimore also struggled to generate offense, stranding six runners through the first five innings.

The Orioles broke through in the sixth. Alonso led off with his 14th home run of the season, a solo shot to center field. Colton Cowser walked and Taveras doubled to right‑center, scoring Cowser to tie the game at 1‑1. After Jackson Holliday and Tyler O’Neill struck out, Blaze Alexander drove a ground‑rule double to right‑center that scored Taveras and gave Baltimore a 2‑1 lead. Sam Huff struck out to end the inning.

Baltimore extended its lead with a four‑run seventh keyed by Holliday’s third home run of the season. Taylor Ward walked to start the inning. Gunnar Henderson flied out, but Alonso singled to right, moving Ward to second. Cowser popped out on the infield fly rule, but Taveras walked to load the bases. Holliday then launched a grand slam to right‑center, scoring Ward, Alonso and Taveras to make it 6‑1. O’Neill doubled, and Alexander reached on catcher interference by Mitch Garver before Huff flied out to end the inning.

Seattle scored twice in the eighth against Baltimore reliever Grant Wolfram. Mastrobuoni singled to center, Patrick Wisdom walked and Cole Young grounded out, advancing both runners. Julio Rodríguez grounded out to second, scoring Mastrobuoni, and Josh Naylor singled to right, scoring Wisdom to cut the deficit to 6‑2. Randy Arozarena struck out to end the inning. Yennier Cano pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings in relief for Baltimore, striking out two.

The Mariners went quietly in the ninth. Luke Raley grounded out, Dominic Canzone grounded out and Mitch Garver struck out on a foul tip against Cano.

Baltimore outhit Seattle 11‑4. Alonso finished 2‑for‑5 with a home run and an RBI. Taveras went 2‑for‑3 with a double, a walk and an RBI. Tyler O’Neill was 2‑for‑4 with two doubles. Alexander was 1‑for‑3 with a double and an RBI. Henderson walked once and singled in four at‑bats. Ward walked twice and singled in three plate appearances. Cowser went 0‑for‑3 with a walk.
