The Baltimore Orioles swept the Seattle Mariners in a four game series for the first time since 1999 on Monday with a 5-4 victory.

In the 8th inning, Aubrey Huff hit the go ahead homerun and then George Sherrill finished the game up by picking up his fourth save of the season.  Dennis Sarfate was the winning pitcher for the Orioles.

Melvin Mora also hit a homerun while Brian Roberts collected three hits for the red hot Orioles.  The Orioles are now 5-1 on the season and will look to extend their record to 6-1 when they take on the Texas Rangers.

The Baltimore Orioles brough out the big bats tonight in a 7-4 win over the Mariners.  It was a nice scene to see three homeruns by the Orioles, it would have been even better to see more fans at the stadium however.  C’mon Orioles fans, get out there and support your team!

Ramon Hernandez, Kevin Millar, and Melvin Mora all went deep for the Orioles and provided all the offense that they needed to get by the Mariners.

Steve Trachsel picked up the win for the Mariners.  He pitched 5.2 innings and only gave up two earned runs on four hits.  It was a quality start for Trachsel, who the Orioles are depending on this a lot this season.   Very good outing to start the season!
