“Eco Spec is thoughtfully crafted for sensitive environments including patient rooms, offices, guest rooms and schools, as well as residential spaces,” said Alfredo Valiente, product manager, commercial and professional brands, at Benjamin Moore. “Its formula makes it ideal for those who demand good indoor air quality, especially individuals with asthma or allergies and those looking for a responsible solution that supports well-being without sacrificing on quality and durability.”

In addition to meeting the strictest VOC regulations, Eco Spec features a low odor that completely dissipates within an hour after application, so that spaces painted with Eco Spec can be reoccupied sooner, providing minimal disruption and fast return to space for residential or commercial spaces. It also has superior chemical resistance, withstanding repeat washing from common disinfectants and cleaning agents; and is formulated with antimicrobial additives, preventing the buildup of mold and mildew on dry paint film.

Backed by Benjamin Moore’s Green Promise ®, Eco Spec meets – and often exceeds – some of the highest standards for environmental and performance criteria regarding VOCs, emissions, application, washability and scrubbability. It has been tested by multiple independent green certifying organizations, including:

“Our long-standing partnership with Benjamin Moore reflects a shared commitment to improved indoor environments. Through our independent testing, Eco Spec has met the strict criteria for chemical emissions and VOCs, which is important for individuals with asthma and allergies,” said Dr. John McKeon, CEO, Allergy Standards Ltd. “This certification gives consumers and professionals confidence that Eco Spec supports good indoor air quality.”

Eco Spec is available in three sheens as well as a primer to create a full system with zero VOCs and can be tinted in 3,500+ Benjamin Moore colors.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Jackson Holliday hit his third career grand slam, Brandon Young pitched seven scoreless innings and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Seattle Mariners 7-2 on Wednesday night to snap a four-game losing streak.

Holliday became the first player in franchise history with three grand slams before turning 23. The 22-year-old infielder has 25 major league home runs.

Young (5-1) gave up two hits, walked two and struck out five. Baltimore is 9-1 in games started by Young this season.

Pete Alonso hit a solo homer and singled, and Leody Taveras went 2 for 3 with an RBI double.

Alonso's leadoff drive in the sixth opened the scoring. Colter Cowser walked four pitches later, stole second base and scored on a double by Taveras, who then stole third before Blaze Alexander hit a ground-rule double with two outs that made it 3-0.

Holliday's slam extended it to 7-0 in the seventh before Seattle got two runs in the eighth. Miles Mastrobuoni scored on a groundout by Julio Rodríguez, and Josh Naylor singled home Patrick Wisdom.

Seattle starter George Kirby (5-6) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. He walked three and finished with a season-high 10 strikeouts.

The Mariners are 4-17 this season when they do not hit a home run.

Seattle went into the game an MLB-best 11-3 (.786) since May 25.

The Orioles went 4 for 13 with runners in scoring position. Baltimore hit .129 (4 for 31) with runners in scoring position, including 1 for 11 on Tuesday in a 6-5 loss in 10 innings, during its four-game skid.

The matchup was the third of seven between the clubs in an 11-game stretch, with the Orioles traveling to Seattle for a three-game series next week.

Mariners RHP Bryan Woo (5-4, 3.74 ERA) starts Thursday opposite Kyle Bradish (3-7, 3.89) in the finale of the four-game series.
