Wellington Castillo was 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Chris Davis finished 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs and an RBI. Donnie Hart earned the win in relief and Zach Britton picked up his 12th save. Ben Gamel was 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs to pace Seattle. Danny Valencia was 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two runs. Nelson Cruz was 1-for-2 with a walk and two runs. Emilio Pagan took the loss in relief.
Seattle is still in the Wild Card hunt and ending its recent skid is important to stay afloat. While Bundy has been solid lately, he’s dodged some trouble in his last two starts and did not have a good July. Ramirez has been solid since coming to Seattle and he should get some run support with the game being at Camden Yards.
