Mariners 3, Orioles 2
SEATTLE — Justin Smoak hit a two-out, three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth off cruising Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie, giving the Mariners a stunning win. Seattle did little against Guthrie for seven innings and did just enough to keep the eighth alive, helped by an error by Guthrie and Brendan Ryan's two-out single. Smoak then belted an 0-and-1 pitch from Guthrie 408 feet into the rightfield seats. It was his eighth homer of the season and his second since May 13. Seattle has won 11 of 14 games.
