Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Chris Tillman pitched into the ninth inning on
Wednesday and the Orioles downed the Mariners, 4-2, in the rubber match of a
three-game series.
It was the first start of the season for Tillman (1-0), who was recalled from
Triple-A Norfolk prior to the game. He was charged with two unearned runs on
two hits with two walks and seven strikeouts in 8 1/3 innings.
Adam Jones homered for Baltimore, which won two straight to end the series,
halting a three-game skid in the process.
Hector Noesi (2-11) gave up four runs on seven hits over five innings. He has
lost eight straight decisions, with his last win coming on May 6.
Kyle Seager and Justin Smoak both had a ninth-inning RBI for Seattle.
