MLB: Seattle 6, Baltimore 3

Russell Branyan hit a solo homer and drove in three runs Thursday, helping the Seattle Mariners rally from an early deficit to a 6-3 victory over Baltimore.

The Mariners won for the fourth time in five games, chipping away with 12 hits after Baltimore’s Luke Scott hit a two-run homer in the first.

Branyan singled in the first of Seattle’s three runs in the third, delivered a sacrifice fly in the fifth and produced his 14th homer of the season in the seventh.

Garrett Olson (1-1), making a spot start for the Mariners, got the win by limiting Baltimore to two runs over five innings. David Aardsma struck out two in a perfect ninth inning for his 11th save.

Koji Uehara (2-4), activated from the 15-day disabled list earlier in the day, gave up four runs on seven hits in five innings to take the loss. He had been out of action with a strained left hamstring.
