Making his sixth major league start, Seattle lefty Justus Sheffield gave up four runs and six hits. He remains in search of his first big league win.
QUITE A CROWD

Orioles: The season isn't necessarily over for Mason Williams, who hasn't played since banging into the outfield wall on Tuesday. "He's day to day and he's sore," manager Brandon Hyde said. Hyde believes Williams could be ready to return next week, but added, "I don't know for sure."
Ruiz took a bit too long to fire to first base, and Lopes beat the throw. Smith, meanwhile, whisked around third and slid home safely ahead of the relay with an unearned run.
