Seattle Mariners on Wrong Side of History in Tough Loss to Baltimore Orioles
In this story:
The Seattle Mariners saw their eight-game winning streak come to an end on Wednesday night, falling 4-3 to the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
Seattle led 1-0 in the top of the seventh inning thanks to a single from Josh Naylor, but immediately surrendered it back in the bottom half of the seventh.
Trailing 3-1 in the top of the ninth, the M's rallied on a groundout by Naylor and a sacrifice fly from Dominic Canzone, only to lose it in the bottom half on a walk-off double by Jackson Holliday.

The M's were on the wrong side of multiple forms of history in the loss, as Holliday became the third-youngest player in Orioles history to record a walk-off hit. He's younger than only Manny Machado and Hall of Famer Eddie Murray.

Furthermore, Trevor Rogers remained hot on the mound for Baltimore, buzzsawing the Mariners lineup for seven innings. He allowed just one run on four hits while walking none and striking out six.
Per @OptaSTATS:
Trevor Rogers has posted a 0.45 WHIP through four home starts in 2025.
The only pitcher in the modern era (since 1901) to have a lower WHIP through four home starts in a season (min. 10 innings pitched) is Ray Herbert in 1963 (0.44).

Matt Brash took the loss for Seattle, giving up the double to Holliday. He's now 1-1 with a 1.42 ERA on the season.
The Mariners are now 67-54 after the loss. They are one game back of the Houston Astros in the American League West and lead the battle for the first wild card spot by 1.5 games over the Boston Red Sox.
