Orioles suffer 8th consecutive loss as Mariners triumph thanks to Kirby's stellar performance
The Seattle Mariners continued their impressive run on August 12, 2025, as they clinched a 1-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in a nail-biting contest. The game was largely defined by George Kirby's stellar pitching performance, who pitched seven scoreless innings, limiting Baltimore to just three hits[1].
Kirby's dominance on the mound was the key factor in the Mariners' narrow win, which marked their eighth straight victory[2]. The Mariners' offense was minimal but effective, scoring the only run needed to secure the win.
