The Seattle Mariners continued their downward spiral with a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, marking their eighth defeat in 11 games. Cal Raleigh's major league-leading 24th home run briefly gave Seattle a two-run lead in the fifth inning. However, the Orioles retaliated in the sixth with back-to-back home runs, sealing the Mariners' fate. Bryan Woo, who pitched six innings, suffered the loss and now holds a 5-3 record for the season. Manager Dan Wilson provided an optimistic update on star pitcher Logan Gilbert, who felt good after a rehab outing with Triple-A Tacoma.

Despite Gilbert's progress, no timeline has been set for his return to the team. The Mariners aim to turn their fortunes around against the Los Angeles Angels in their road opener tomorrow evening. Coverage will start at 5:30 PM, with first pitch scheduled for 6:38 PM on KPUG.
