After Monday’s off day, the O’s started their 21-games-in-20-days odyssey off on the right foot Tuesday night, getting the best of the Seattle Mariners, 9-4.

The nine-run outburst was the second-most the O’s have scored in a game all year, trailing just their 18-run decimation of Boston on April 26.

Adam Jones is Up to Something

Oh hey, look – something cool by Jeff Sullivan! While researching in preparation for his Bird’s Eye View appearance, Sullivan stumbled upon some Adam Jones statistics, and while he’s not quite sure what to make of them, they’re at least interesting!
