Tyler Wells earned his first win of the season, throwing three scoreless innings in relief with four strikeouts. The right-hander allowed just one walk while keeping Seattle off the board after taking over in the fourth inning. Andrew Kittredge recorded his first save, working a perfect ninth inning on just six pitches.
The decisive sequence began in the third when Colton Cowser homered to tie the game 1-1. Jackson Holliday scored on a Bryan Woo wild pitch to give Baltimore the lead, then Adley Rutschman doubled home two more runs. Pete Alonso capped the outburst with a two-run homer to left center, extending the lead to 6-1. Seattle answered immediately in the fourth as Luke Raley homered to bring home Randy Arozarena, Dominic Canzone followed with a solo shot, and Julio Rodríguez singled home Colt Emerson to cut the deficit to 6-5. Rutschman added an insurance run in the fifth with an RBI single.
Bryan Woo took the loss, allowing seven runs over five innings despite striking out four. The right-hander was undone by the third-inning explosion, surrendering all seven runs in that frame. Cole Young led Seattle's offense, going 3-for-5 with a home run and an RBI.
Baltimore snapped a losing streak to improve to 32-37, while Seattle fell to 36-33 after the loss. Gunnar Henderson is one home run away from 100 career homers, and Randy Arozarena sits two runs away from 500 career runs scored.
