In an impressive display of dominance, the Baltimore Orioles added another win to their record, defeating the Seattle Mariners in Friday's series opener. The Orioles got off to a strong start, scoring five runs in the first inning to secure the lead.

The victory was especially meaningful for left-hander John Means, who earned his first win at Camden Yards since April 2021. Means showcased his skills on the mound, delivering a stellar performance that helped propel the Orioles to success.

With this latest triumph, the Orioles have now extended their American League-best sweepless streak to an impressive 106 regular-season series. This achievement has solidified Baltimore's position as one of the most formidable teams in MLB history, as they now rank third on the all-time list for consecutive series wins without a sweep.

On Saturday, the Orioles welcomed right-hander Grayson Rodriguez back from the 15-day injured list as he took the mound for the eagerly awaited contest against the Mariners. The Mariners countered with their own right-hander, Luis Castillo, adding an extra layer of excitement to the matchup.

Looking ahead, fans can anticipate an exciting pitching duel on Sunday as Orioles ace Corbin Burnes is set to face off against the Mariners' right-hander George Kirby. The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the series.

In addition to their accomplishments on the field, the Orioles are also preparing for a challenging seven-game road trip. They will be facing tough opponents in St. Louis and Chicago in the coming week, and the team is gearing up to maintain their winning momentum and continue their impressive run.

Meanwhile, Saturday's lineup featured Austin Hays, who made his first start back after being on the injured list. Cedric Mullins, though going through a slump, stood alongside him in center field, aiming to contribute to the team's success with his skills and determination.

As the Orioles continue to make their mark in the league, their consistent performance and remarkable sweepless streak have undoubtedly positioned them as a team to watch. Fans eagerly await their next moves as they aim to keep rising in the ranks and solidify their spot among baseball's elite.
