Naylor then lofted a fly just over the wall in right for his seventh homer of the season<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Orioles closed within 5-2 in the seventh when reliever Matt Brash\u2019s wild pitch reached the backstop and allowed Coby Mayo to score. Brash nearly walked Pete Alonso to force in another run two batters later, but Seattle challenged and Alonso was out on a called third strike. Colton Cowser grounded out to leave the bases loaded.<\/p>\n Baltimore also had a run removed following a review in the eighth a batter after Blaze Alexander\u2019s RBI single made it 6-3. Pinch hitter Samuel Basallo made the second out on an apparent sacrifice fly to center, but video review found that Rodr\u00edguez threw out Alexander at second before a tagging Jackson Holliday scored.<\/p>\n Emerson Hancock (5-2) allowed a run in five innings and struck out three. <\/p>\n Andr\u00e9s Mu\u00f1oz worked a scoreless ninth for his 10th save in 15 chances.<\/p>\n Gibson (1-1), who was recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Norfolk to replace the injured Chris Bassitt<\/a> on the roster, yielded three runs in 4 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n Seattle scratched shortstop Colt Emerson due to back tightness.<\/p>\n Seattle RHP Logan Gilbert (4-4, 3.79 ERA) faces Baltimore LHP Trevor Rogers (3-6, 6.29) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n
