Joe Saunders allowed two runs on eight hits over six innings as the Mariners beat the Orioles on Sunday. He struck out two and walked two. Baltimore reportedly pursued Saunders as a trade target last week, but pulled back when they acquired Bud Norris from the Astros. Sunday marked an atypical Saunders outing, decent but not stellar. He's been a feast-or-famine hurler this year, allowing one or no runs 10 times out of 23 starts and six or more runs on eight occasions. Saunders improves to 10-10 with a 4.58 ERA.
