Anthony Santander homers again as Orioles edge Mariners

Anthony Santander blasted his fifth homer in the past six games to help power the host Baltimore Orioles to a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners in the rubber game of their three-game set on Sunday.

Santander went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and two RBIs for the Orioles, who followed a series-opening 13-1 loss on Friday with two victories to take the series against the Mariners.

Anthony Bemboom's single broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth for the Orioles, who have won four of their past six games.

Kyle Bradish (4-3) allowed two runs on just two hits with seven strikeouts and two walks in seven innings for Baltimore.

Seattle starter George Kirby (6-7) yielded three runs -- two earned -- on six hits with four strikeouts and a walk in 6 1/3 innings before being relieved by Matt Brash.

Cal Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and two RBIs for the Mariners, who have dropped four of their past six games.

After the Mariners took a 2-0 lead in the second on Raleigh's two-run homer to right, the Orioles tied the game in the third.

After Jorge Mateo led off with a double down the third-base line, he stole third with one out before Cedric Mullins flew out to center. But five pitches later, Santander blasted Kirby's curveball over the right-field wall to tie the game.

The Orioles took the lead in the fifth. After Mateo drew a one-out walk, Bemboom hit a short fly ball that landed just inside the right-field line and just out of the reach of second baseman Jose Caballero.

Caballero inadvertently kicked the ball while trying to pick it up, enabling Mateo to score all the way from first and enabling Bemboom to reach second base.

Danny Coulombe pitched a scoreless eighth before Felix Bautista worked around a two-out single by striking out the side in the ninth to pick up his 21st save of the season.
