Saturday September 3 at the Mariners

Opponent: Seattle Mariners
Outcome: L
Score: 0-1
Streak: L1
Record: 47-87
Rank: 7th
GB: 27.5

Tonight's game lasted just one hour and 45 minutes, the shortest game the Orioles played all season.  As you might expect there wasn't a whole lot of action in the game - the two teams combined for only seven hits.  The Mariners were the only team that managed to score a run - they capitalized on a pair of doubles by Jim Presley and Mickey Brantley in the sixth to plate the only run of the game.  Mark Langston struck out eight Orioles en route to a complete game win while Jose Bautista took the tough complete game loss for the Birds.

It was the thirteenth time the Orioles had been shut out this season but it was also the first time in almost a month and a half.  The last time they were shut out was on July 19th against the White Sox.
