Branyan powers Mariners past Orioles, 6-3

BALTIMORE – (AP) Russell Branyan homered and drove in three runs to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night.

Branyan contributed a sacrifice fly during a three-run rally in the third, then capped his night with a 450-foot blast in the seventh. Branyan's team-leading 14th homer tied for the sixth-longest at Camden Yards.

Adrian Beltre went 3 for 4 with an RBI and a run while Ichiro Suzuki doubled, tripled and scored two runs to help the Mariners win their fourth straight series.

Baltimore has lost seven of its last eight games.
