SEATTLE -- For much of the season, the Mariners were not quite sure what to expect from Taijuan Walker. Myydään Vapormax .After the hard-throwing right-hander held the Baltimore Orioles to just four hits over his 6 1/3 innings in the Mariners 5-3 victory Thursday night, manager Scott Servais has a better idea.Thats the guy, Servais said. Thats the guy we saw earlier in the year. We just havent seen (him) for a while.Seth Smith had the key hit for the Mariners, a two-run home run in the fifth.Walker (4-6), who was 2-0 in April and 0-5 in May, developed painful tendinitis in his right foot about a month ago. He came out of his June 19 start after five innings and had not started in 10 days.He gave up a solo home run to Hyun Soo Kim in the seventh but that was the only runner to get past first base. He struck out five and walked none.We knew it was going to be a challenge, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said, and he was on top of his game.Walked said he felt the pain in the foot from the opening pitch but sometimes you have to pitch through it. ... I hope it goes away but for now Ill just do my routine in between starts and stay off of it as much as I can.Its a great team win, something we needed.Kims home run allowed the Orioles to set the major league record for most home runs in June with 56. The 1996 Oakland As had the previous record of 55.Chris Tillman (10-2) took the loss, ending his nine-game win streak. He lasted just 4 2/3 innings, his second-shortest outing in 17 starts this season. He gave up four runs and six hits, walking three and striking out three.I never felt like I didnt have it, Tillman said. I mean it was there, it was close. I just wasnt able to make some pitches with the off-speed stuff when I need to.It also was Tillmans first career loss to the Mariners, who traded him to the Orioles in 2006. He is now 7-1 with a 3.55 ERA in 10 career starts against Seattle.Before the game, Servais said he talked to his veteran players about their intensity level and where it needs to go.Nelson Cruz, who had two doubles and scored a run, said, we have to play with a little chip on the shoulder. Its nice see everyone contribute today.Center fielder Leonys Martin displayed his intensity and some leather with a pair of superb defensive plays. In the second, he raced straight back to the warning track, hopped up and stretched over his head to haul in a Mark Trumbo blast.Then in the fourth, Manny Machado lined a shot off the wall in right-center, a yard short from a home run. Martin gathered it quickly and threw to shortstop Ketel Marte, who then fired to first to get Machado rounding the bag too far.Leonys, man, hes bailing me out, Walker said. Couple nice plays.Martin started the Mariners three-run fifth with a one-out single to left. Smith attempted to advance Martin with a bunt but popped it foul. On the next pitch, he roped his seventh home run into the right-field seats.Dae-Ho Lee had two RBIs for the Mariners.The Orioles rallied for two runs in the eighth as Kim and Machado each had RBI singles.Closer Steve Cishek earned a four-out save, his 19th in 23 opportunities.SECOND CHANCECatcher Mike Zunino, the Mariners first-round draft choice in 2012, was called up from Triple-A Tacoma after backup catcher Steve Clevenger broke his hand Wednesday. Zunino struggled in his starting role last season, and the Mariners hope time in the minors helped. From the reports I got, it has been better. Hes a more productive hitter and hes controlling the strike zone better, Servais said. Hell have plenty of opportunities to contribute. Zunino was hitting .282 with 15 home runs and 51 RBIs for Tacoma.NO SECOND LEFTYWith the Orioles placing left-hand reliever T.J. McFarland on the 15-day DL Thursday, that leaves only one lefty on the roster, closer Zach Britton. We havent had a left-hander step forward and seize that (second lefty role), like we hoped, manager Buck Showalter said. We have some guys who could potentially do that, but not a whole lot of experience. Its something everyone is constantly looking for.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: McFarland was placed on the 15-day DL before Thursdays game because of a nagging left knee injury. McFarland will fly to Baltimore Friday to have it examined by team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Jacobs, then head to Sarasota, Florida, for rehab.Mariners: The Mariners intend to insert RH Felix Hernandez (strained calf) into the rotation after the All-Star break. The lead-up plan is to have him throw a bullpen session Friday followed by a simulated game then two starts in the minors. ... C Clevenger, who broke a bone in his right hand after being hit by a batted ball Wednesday, will have surgery Friday. He is expected back before seasons end.UP NEXTOrioles: It took 13 starts but RH Kevin Gausman (1-5, 3.93) won his first game in his previous start Saturday against Tampa Bay, a 5-0 decision. He gave up four hits, struck out seven and walked no one in 7 2/3 innings. He is 0-1 with a 2.63 ERA in two career starts against Seattle.Mariners: LHP Wade LeBlanc (0-0, 0.00), acquired in a trade with Toronto on June 21, allowed no runs and just three hits in his Mariners debut last Friday against St. Louis. The seven-year veteran has one career start against the Orioles, 0-0 with a 1.35 ERA. Vapormax 2019 Suomi . PAUL, Minn. Nike Vapormax Halvalla . P.A. Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on Tuesday night. Cory Sarich also scored for Colorado (3-0-0), which is off to its best ever start. http://www.vapormaxsuomi.com/vapormax-flyknit-3-ale.html . Sgt. Eric ONeal says most of the arrests at Monday nights game were for public drunkenness, though one person was taken into custody on suspicion of trying to steal a seat from the stadium. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen wants his defense to have plenty of bear hugs ready for Big 12 rushing leader DOnta Foreman of Texas.Some TLC?More like TFL -- tackles for loss.Holgorsen figures the best way to limit the 249-pound Foremans yards on Saturday will be making sure hes brought down not long after hes handed the ball.Youve got to get him on the ground, and thats easier said than done, Holgorsen said. Hes a big, powerful, bruising back. I think everybody says thats what he is, but then he gets out in the open. He turns the corner on people and outruns people as well. So getting him down early in the run I think is incredibly important.Good luck.Foreman used a mix of long runs and short, punishing ones to compile 341 yards and three touchdowns against Texas Tech last week, giving him 1,446 yards this season. His 181 yards per game leads the nation.Those numbers are crazy, said West Virginia defensive lineman Noble Nwachukwu. I dont really know whats going on. I dont know if its their line or if its just him or what it is. But props to him.Foreman can tie Earl Campbells 1977 school record of 11 straight 100-yard games on Saturday when the Longhorns (5-4, 3-3) host No. 11 West Virginia (7-1, 4-1).Whether Foreman can lead Texas to victory remains to be seen. The Longhorns want this one in order to become bowl eligible. West Virginia wants this one to stay in contention in the Big 12 title race heading into a showdown with first-place Oklahoma next week in Morgantown.The Mountaineers 3-3-5 defensive scheme doesnt lend itself to completely shutting down the run, although West Virginia has surrendered a Big 12-low seven rushing TDs all season and is fourth in the league with 148 yards allowed on the ground per game. Nike Vapormax Suomi. Foreman has 13 TDs all by himself. A year ago he ran for 147 yards in a loss to West Virginia, which has almost all new starters on defense in 2016.One of those newbies, linebacker and leading tackler Justin Arndt, said Foreman is legit. Without a doubt hes the best back well face so far.The Mountaineers have allowed just three 100-yard rushing efforts this season, including BYUs Jamaal Williams (169 yards) and Taysom Hill (101) in the same game. Opponents have five rushing plays of more than 20 yards, including a 59-yarder by Williams.West Virginia already has but the damper on national passing leader Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech, limiting him to 305 yards, far below his season average.Foreman is sure to leave some defenders in need of some rest after Saturday.Hes a big dude and I know thats really the struggle -- nobody wants to really hit him, Nwachukwu said. But were going to get him down on the ground so I dont think its going to be so much of a problem.Foreman finished off a 74-yard TD run against Texas Tech with one shoe on. Texas coach Charlie Strong said defensive backs pursuing Foreman from the proper angles often come up short.Our guys think theyre fast, and they cant catch him, Strong said. Its just been fun to watch it.---AP Sports Writer Jim Vertuno in Austin, Texas, contributed to this report.----More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
