An improbable walk-off home run by defensive whiz Ryan McKenna in the 10th inning salvaged a horrific day on the base paths for the Orioles, lifting them to a 6-4 win over the Mariners on Saturday evening at Camden Yards.
There were two constants in this game: The next home run was always around the corner, and an Orioles base runner would find a way to get thrown out in a silly way. Those two things largely overshadowed what was a standout day for O’s starter Dean Kremer.
The Orioles’ first run of the day was manufactured in the second inning.
