Pete Alonso’s solo homer sparks Orioles’ comeback in 7-5 win over Mariners
Baltimore rallied in the seventh inning, with Pete Alonso’s home run igniting a five‑run burst that secured a 7‑5 victory over Seattle.
Friday night at Camden Yards turned into a roller‑coaster for both clubs. The Seattle Mariners entered the game with a potent lineup, but the Baltimore Orioles had other plans, especially after the seventh‑ inning.
It started innocently enough – a couple of singles, a sacrifice fly, the usual back‑and‑forth. Then, with two outs and the score sitting at 5‑2 in Seattle’s favor, Pete Alonso stepped up to the plate. He took a slow, deliberate swing and sent a clean, solo shot over the left‑field wall. The crowd’s murmur turned into a roar.
Alonso’s homer proved to be the catalyst. The next batter drove a double, and a subsequent single chased a run home, cutting the deficit to 5‑4. A wild pitch followed, allowing another run to cross the plate. By the end of the frame, the Orioles had turned a three‑run hole into a 5‑5 tie.
The momentum was clearly theirs. In the top of the eighth, Austin Hays knocked in the go‑ahead run with a sharp single to right‑center, and Adley Rutschman added an RBI double later in the inning, extending the lead to 7‑5. Seattle managed a solitary run in the ninth, but it was too little, too late.
Key contributors for Baltimore included the bullpen, which held Seattle scoreless after the fifth inning, and the defense, which turned two crucial double plays. For the Mariners, Ty France’s early double and a two‑run homer from Cal Brewers kept the game within reach, but the late surge proved decisive.
Final tally: Orioles 7, Mariners 5. The win pushes Baltimore a step closer to a playoff spot, while Seattle looks to regroup ahead of their next series.
