Yesterday, the Mariners “turned back the clock” to pay homage to the 1969 Seattle Pilots. Today, they turned back their clocks to early April, pouncing on an Orioles team that now has allowed a major league-worst 156 home runs.
Yusei Kikuchi shrugged off recent struggles and settled in for six strong frames after a rocky start. After allowing a run in each of the first two innings, Kikuchi allowed just two hits to cap off his fourth win of the year.
To complement the strong defensive outing — including an error-free showing from the field — Seattle exploded offensively.
