It was the calm after the storm for the Mariners in their return home Monday night against Baltimore, following the tempest that was Sunday’s brawl-filled contest against the Angels in Anaheim, California.
Especially for the Mariners’ bats, which barely made a peep as they were held to just three hits in a desultory 9-2 loss to Baltimore in front of 21,615 at T-Mobile Park.
While Seattle’s offense was just about nonexistent, the O’s were as hot as the Seattle weather, smashing five home runs.
