Baltimore struck first in the third. Corey Patterson led off with a single to right and moved to second on Jones' base hit. After Nick Markakis struck out, Tejada doubled in both runners for a 2-0 lead. Tejada was then thrown out trying to score by Langerhans on Matt Wieters' single.

Scott made it 3-0 in the fourth with a lead-off bomb to right. Scott then doubled to start the sixth off Ian Snell, moved to third on Garrett Atkins' double and scored on Cesar Izturis' sac fly. Patterson then flied out for the second out, but Jones made it 5-0 with an RBI base hit to right-center.

Seattle pulled within 5-1 on a two-out RBI single from Chone Figgins in the eighth. Ichiro Suzuki scored on the play after reaching on an infield single.
