Markakis doubled and Aubrey Huff drew a walkto set the stage for Gibbons' blast, his sixth of the season. "Every time you hit a home run, you're happy," said Gibbons, whois hitting just .217. "I haven't done anything to help theteam this year. The guy (Hernandez) is a real good pitcher.He's as nasty as they come. I'm just glad we were able to comeback on him." Gibbons blooped a single into center field to plate CoreyPatterson and Markakis, highlighting a five-run seventh inningto give the Orioles an 8-2 advantage. Markakis, who recorded his first four-hit game since May 11, nowhas eight multi-hit performances in his last 13 contests. Heis batting .434 with nine runs scored and 13 RBI over that span. "I'm just absolutely locked in right now," Markakis said. "I amreally, really seeing the ball great. I'm just on a lot ofpitches right now." Guthrie, who won for the first time since June 20, yielded tworuns and six hits with three walks and three strikeouts. "I give Guthrie a lot of credit," Orioles manager Dave Trembleysaid. "He hung in there. He had to make some extra pitchesearly in the game because we made some misplays behind him." The Mariners started the scoring in the third inning when JoseVidro singled to drive in Ichiro Suzuki, who reached on afielder's choice, stole second and moved to third on catcherRamon Hernandez's throwing error. Kenji Johjima's 10th home run of the season in the fourth gavethe Mariners a 2-0 lead. Hernandez, who was 3-0 over his five previous starts, gave upthree runs on eight hits and three walks over six innings tosuffer his first loss since June 15. "Felix really worked hard," Mariners manager John McLaren said."He had close to a hundred pitches and he really got frustratedafter the home run. I thought he had enough and I've got suchconfidence in our bullpen. It just didn't happen tonight." "Those guys were jumping a lot on the first pitch," Hernandezsaid. "They got a lot of hits and lot of runners in scoringposition. I did my best, but I just made one mistake. It's allmy fault."
