Final score: Mariners 6, Orioles 3

I can’t quit you, Mariners.

I can’t quit you on days when Munenori Kawasaki starts.

I can’t quit you when players like Brendan Ryan, Chone Figgins, and Miguel Olivo remember how to hit.

I can’t quit you when Casper Wells cuts a line-drive double to score one, two, three runs.

I can’t quit you when you stare down Safeco’s fences and hit back-to-back jacks.

I can’t quit you when you strike out 609-home run champ Jim Thome.

And I definitely can’t quit you after watching you win four times in a row.

Next game: vs. Orioles | July 3 | 7:10pm
