Wells leads Mariners past Orioles 6-3
SEATTLE — Casper Wells hit a go-ahead, three-run double with two out in the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the slumping Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on Monday night.
Miguel Olivo and Dustin Ackley added back-to-back homers in the eighth as the Mariners rallied for the win in their first game of the season against Baltimore.
Wells had a couple of scoring chances earlier in the game and failed to drive in any runners. But he came up in the eighth and drove an 0-1 pitch from Jason Hammel (8-4) into the gap in right-center. Ackley, Munenori Kawasaki and Ichiro Suzuki all scampered home to give Seattle a 4-3 lead.
