What to watch
1. Series champs. The Orioles haven't lost a series since dropping consecutive sets to the Kansas City Royals and Tampa Bay Rays at the end of April. Since, they had a four-game split with the Chicago White Sox followed by four straight series wins. Can they keep the streak alive with a matinee win over the Mariners?
2. Trumbo Bumbo. After going hitless in four of five games before Wednesday, Mark Trumbo broke out with two hits, two runs scored and his 12th home run. Could that be a sign of Trumbo starting to heat back up again?
3. Wilson works it. Rookie right-hander Tyler Wilson has been a big part of the improvement from the Orioles rotation. Since moving into a starting role, he's 2-1 with a 3.57 ERA in four starts. Wilson comes in to today with two straight quality starts, including a season-best seven-inning win over the Minnesota Twins his last time out. Will he make it three straight quality starts this afternoon?
