American League Game Summary - Seattle at Baltimore

Final Score: Seattle 4 - Baltimore 5

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Aubrey Huff's solo homer in the eighth inning lifted Baltimore over Seattle, 5-4, in the finale of a four-game set from Camden Yards.

Melvin Mora hit a two-run home run for the Orioles, who swept the series and have won five straight games. Brian Roberts also drove in two runs while Luis Hernandez added two hits and scored once.

Dennis Sarfate (2-0) notched the win with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. George Sherrill continued to bedevil his former club by posting his fourth save of the season and third of the series. Starter Daniel Cabrera allowed five hits and four runs over six innings, walking four and fanning five.

"The guys we brought over in trades are really helping this team right now," Orioles manager Dave Trembley said. "Especially the bullpen."

Raul Ibanez finished 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI for the Mariners, who have dropped five of six. Ichiro Suzuki also collected two hits, including a home run.

Eric O'Flaherty (0-1) took the loss after allowing the game-winning blast. His one-third of an inning in relief reversed a solid start by Carlos Silva, who allowed nine hits and four runs over seven innings, striking out five without issuing a walk.

To start the eighth, O'Flaherty retired Kevin Millar on a grounder. Huff then stepped up and drilled a high fastball deep into the right-center field seats to give Baltimore a 5-4 lead. Following a Luke Scott walk, Sean Green entered and sent down the final two batters.

"I was looking fastball and I guessed right," Huff said. "It was a good pitch to hit."

Sherrill came on in the ninth and retired the Mariners in order to seal the win.

Seattle put a pair on the board in its first-at bat on a leadoff shot by Suzuki and a one-out shot to right from Ibanez.

The O's responded and took the lead in the third. Hernandez singled with one out, and Roberts laced a ball for a double to left for the RBI. Mora followed with a two-run blast just over the wall in left-center.

The Mariners pulled even in the fourth. Adrian Beltre reached on an infield single and moved up two batters later when Richie Sexson walked. Jose Vidro's grounder went to first, and Millar threw to second for the force, but the return throw to complete a double play was late. Beltre alertly rounded third and scored easily before Millar's toss home.

An Ibanez RBI double in the fifth gave the visitors a one-run edge, but Roberts' RBI base hit knotted the game 4-4 in the home half of the same inning.
