20 minutes in the past

SEATTLE — Zero runs scored over 9 innings isn’t an amazing recipe for fulfillment. Most groups aren’t successful that sport.

However, the 2023 Orioles have frequently proved they’re higher than most groups.

After Seattle’s George Kirby blanked Baltimore for all the size of a regular contest, the O’s lastly broke by following the right-hander’s departure within the tenth. Ryan Mountcastle served because the offensive hero, delivering an RBI single to finish a scoreless duel and lifting the Orioles to a 1-0 victory Saturday evening.

But it was All-Star nearer Félix Bautista who once more stole the present, this time on an evening when one other Félix — Félix Hernández — was inducted into the Mariners Hall of Fame in entrance of a sellout crowd of 45,823 at T-Mobile Park.

Bautista, who labored a scoreless ninth, got here again out for the tenth and struck out Josh Rojas, Julio Rodríguez and Eugenio Suárez so as, with every of the three happening swinging, because the 6-foot-8 right-hander earned the win in spectacular vogue.

“What he’s done this entire season is unbelievable. There are no other closers that are doing that,” supervisor Brandon Hyde stated. “Doing it in the fashion that he is, too — we are just so fortunate to have him. He is just incredible.”

This was the fourth time Bautista pitched each the ninth and tenth innings this season — all on the street, and all Baltimore wins. Hyde’s components in such conditions makes a ton of sense: Use Bautista to maintain the sport tied within the ninth and power extras, play for one run within the high of the tenth after which ship Bautista again out to safe the win.

Over these 4 appearances — the earlier three coming May 20 at Toronto, July 7 at Minnesota and July 20 at Tampa Bay — Bautista hasn’t allowed a run, giving up solely two hits and recording 15 strikeouts in eight innings.

“He’s unbelievable, and he’s been our rock the whole year,” Mountcastle stated. “And he’s going to continue to do it.”

Bautista wouldn’t have pitched the tenth if it hadn’t been for Mountcastle’s clutch knock within the high of the inning — a one-out single up the center off Mariners right-hander Andrés Muñoz that marked the Orioles’ fourth and closing hit of the evening. But it was the one one they wanted.

Kirby yielded solely three singles and didn’t enable a Baltimore runner to advance previous first base till the ninth, when Jordan Westburg was stranded on third to finish the inning. Kirby wanted solely 103 pitches to navigate 9 frames, hanging out seven and never issuing any walks.

So Baltimore was glad to see Kirby depart and wasted little time capitalizing. Cedric Mullins, the automated runner within the tenth, stole third base after which scored through the knock by Mountcastle, who continued a torrid August through which he’s batting .459 (17-for-37).

“We had no scoring opportunities almost the entire game until we get a runner on second base there in the 10th — for free,” Hyde stated. “To be able to pull out a win when you’re not swinging the bat, that’s massive.”

It was solely the twelfth time in Baltimore historical past (since 1954) that the Orioles received a sport through which the opposing starter threw 9 scoreless innings. The earlier incidence was additionally in opposition to the Mariners, on May 12, 2011, when Jason Vargas dominated earlier than Baltimore went on to win, 2-1, in 12 innings.

The O’s pitching workers did an distinctive job of matching Kirby in placing up zeros. Cole Irvin threw 5 robust innings in his return to the rotation — which has bumped as much as six starters to protect a number of closely used arms — and he was adopted by Mike Baumann (one inning), Jacob Webb (two-thirds), Cionel Pérez (one-third), Yennier Cano (one) and Bautista (two).

“You throw 10 shutout innings, you’re doing something right,” Hyde stated.

“We scraped across the run we needed to win, and ultimately, that’s all that matters,” Irvin added. “We won the game, and it’ll be a big boost for tomorrow.”

The Orioles (an American League-best 72-45) cooled off the most well liked group in baseball, snapping the Mariners’ eight-game successful streak. They additionally received’t want to fret about making an attempt to increase their streak of consecutive multi-game collection with out being swept in Sunday’s finale, as they already pushed that run to 77.

“We’re a good team,” Mountcastle stated, “and that’s just what happens with being good.”

Baltimore is good. And its newest spectacular win — its twenty second by a margin of 1 run — additional showcased that.
