The Orioles won a 2-0 decision over the Mariners yesterday afternoon in Seattle. Rodrigo Lopez won for the first time since Opening Day by tossing 7 1/3 innings of 2 hit, 1 walk, shutout baseball. The lone walk came with 1 out in the eighth, prompting manager Sam Perlozzo to immediately go to closer Chris Ray who closed out the Mariners in what has been his normal fashion thus far.
The defense played errorless ball.
Brian Roberts (2nd game back from a 25 day stay on the DL) scored both runs after lead off doubles in the 1st and 3rd innings.
So, the O's won a baseball game on the road with excellent pitching, excellent defense and "just enough" offense.
Geez, that's what good teams do.
