SEATTLE (Interstat) — Cal Raleigh delivered a two-run single in the seventh inning, breaking a 1-1 tie and lifting the Seattle Mariners to a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park.

The crowd of 27,396 watched a tightly contested pitchers’ duel for the first six innings before the Mariners struck decisively in the bottom of the seventh. The win moved Seattle to 38-36 on the season, while Baltimore fell to 34-40. Logan Gilbert earned his fifth win of the year against four losses, and Andrés Muñoz notched his 11th save with a perfect ninth inning.

Seattle’s victory evened the season series between the two clubs at 3-3, after the Orioles had taken three of four in Baltimore last week. The Mariners had dropped the first two games of that series before splitting the final two, but Tuesday marked their first home win in the 2026 head-to-head.

The game began with Baltimore jumping ahead in the first inning. Taylor Ward doubled to left field to lead off the game, and after a Gunnar Henderson strikeout and an Adley Rutschman groundout, Ward moved to third. Pete Alonso walked to put runners at the corners, and Samuel Basallo greeted the opportunity with a line-drive single to right field, scoring Ward and giving the Orioles a 1-0 lead. Basallo’s hit was the second of just three Baltimore hits all night. Leody Taveras struck out to end the inning, but the damage was done.

Seattle starter Logan Gilbert settled in quickly. After the first-inning run, he retired the Orioles in order in the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Over seven innings, Gilbert allowed one run on two hits, walking two and striking out seven. The only Baltimore baserunner after the first inning was Alonso, who was hit by a pitch in the seventh but was left stranded.

The Mariners answered in the third inning. Colt Emerson grounded out to lead off the frame, then Miles Mastrobuoni walked. J.P. Crawford also walked, pushing Mastrobuoni to second. Raleigh lined out to third for the second out, but Julio Rodríguez delivered a single to left field, scoring Mastrobuoni and tying the game at 1-1. Crawford advanced to second on the play, but Dominic Canzone popped out to shortstop to end the inning.

Baltimore starter Brandon Young matched Gilbert for much of the night, but the Orioles’ offense could not provide support. Young pitched 6 ⅓ innings, allowing three runs on five hits while walking four and striking out two. He took the loss, dropping to 5-2.

The game remained deadlocked until the seventh. Victor Robles led off the bottom of the inning with a single that deflected off third baseman Blaze Alexander. Colt Emerson followed with a single to left, moving Robles to second. Mastrobuoni sacrificed, advancing both runners into scoring position. Crawford then walked to load the bases.

Raleigh stepped to the plate with one out and the bases full. He lined a single to center field, scoring Robles and Emerson and giving the Mariners a 3-1 lead. Crawford moved to second on the play. Rodríguez then grounded into a double play, shortstop Gunnar Henderson to first baseman Pete Alonso, which erased Raleigh at second and ended the inning, but the damage had been done.

Gilbert’s night ended after the seventh, and Eduard Bazardo pitched a scoreless eighth inning, allowing no hits and striking out one. Muñoz took the mound in the ninth and worked around a one-out single by Adley Rutschman, striking out Alonso and inducing a groundout from Basallo to close the game.

The Orioles managed only three hits in the game: Ward’s double, Basallo’s single and Rutschman’s single in the ninth. Baltimore struck out 12 times and left four men on base. The Mariners collected six hits, with Raleigh’s two-run single representing the key blow. Robles, Emerson, Crawford, Canzone, Raleigh and Rodríguez each had one hit for Seattle.

Defensively, the Mariners turned a double play in the seventh to end the inning, and another in the eighth when Victor Robles grounded into a double play that erased Dominic Canzone at third, keeping the score at 3-1.

The win was Seattle’s second in its last three games, following a weekend series loss to the Washington Nationals. Baltimore had dropped its previous two games against San Diego before Tuesday’s loss. The Orioles have now lost four of their last five contests.

The series continues Wednesday and Thursday at T-Mobile Park before Baltimore travels to Los Angeles for a three-game set against the Dodgers. Seattle will host Boston for a weekend series beginning Friday.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of 4-3 in favor of the Mariners, and Interstat’s ELO system gave Seattle a 58.40 percent probability to win. Seattle was installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of minus 1.5, and the total score of four runs went over the over-under line of 7.5.
