Cal Raleigh drives in winner for Mariners in return from IL

Cal Raleigh, making his return from his first career stint on the injured list, hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh inning as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Tuesday night.

Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (5-4) allowed one run on two hits over seven innings with one walk and a season-high 10 strikeouts to get the victory.

Seattle closer Andres Munoz allowed a one-out, infield single by Adley Rutschman in the ninth before striking out Pete Alonso and getting Samuel Basallo to ground out to short. It was Munoz's 11th save of the season.

Orioles starter Brandon Young (5-2) lost for the first time in eight starts since April 30. The right-hander was charged with three runs on four hits in six-plus innings, with four walks and two strikeouts.

The Orioles' Taylor Ward hit the game's first pitch high off the wall in left field for a double. Ward moved to third on a groundout by Rutschman and, after a walk to Alonso, scored on Basallo's two-out single to right.

Gilbert retired the next 16 batters he faced before hitting Alonso with a pitch leading off the seventh. After Basallo fouled out to third, Gilbert struck out Leody Taveras and Colton Cowser to get out of the inning.

The Mariners tied it in the third as Miles Mastrobuoni and J.P. Crawford drew one-out walks. After Raleigh lined out to third, Julio Rodriguez singled to left to make it 1-1.

Young allowed only one other hit -- a two-out single by Crawford in the fifth -- until Victor Robles led off the seventh with an infield single on a hard-hit ball that deflected off third baseman Blaze Alexander. Rookie Colt Emerson then lined a single to left, ending Young's night.

The Orioles brought in lefty Grant Wolfram and Mastrobuoni put down a sacrifice bunt to advance both runners. Crawford walked to load the bases for Raleigh, who lined an 0-1 pitch into left-center field to score a pair and make it 3-1. Raleigh was activated before the game after being on the 10-day IL since May 14 with a strained right oblique.

The Mariners were without left fielder Randy Arozarena, who was placed on the IL (left hamstring strain) shortly before the game, along with first baseman Josh Naylor (right wrist discomfort) and outfielder Luke Raley (lower back tightness).
