BALTIMORE — Gunnar Henderson's fourth leadoff homer of the season sparked a five-run first inning that backed an effective pitching performance by John Means and carried the Baltimore Orioles past the Seattle Mariners 9-2. After Henderson's 13th home run, Baltimore's next five batters reached base Friday night against Bryce Miller. A throwing error by shortstop Dylan Moore let in a run and Colton Cowser followed a walk with a two-run double. Means allowed two runs and six hits, walked none and struck out four over six innings. The Orioles are assured of completing their 106th consecutive regular-season series without being swept, the third-longest streak in major league history.
