Series Preview: Orioles at Mariners
By Editorial Staff
Following the sweep in Oakland, the O’s go to Seattle for their next and last West Coast series for now. The last time these teams faced each other, the O’s swept the Mariners in Baltimore in 2 extra innings games and 1 ‘normal’ game. Hopefully the O’s can get a series win to start working their way up back to .500 and catch up to the Red Sox.
