Washburn (5-6) set down the first 11 batters he faced and went on to face just 28 batters -- one over the minimum. He struck out three.
Russell Branyan smacked a first-inning solo homer -- his 21st round-tripper of the season -- and Chris Woodward drove in two runs with a sixth-inning double for the Mariners, who won for the fourth time in their last five games. Franklin Gutierrez had three hits and scored once and Ichiro Suzuki and Ryan Langerhans each drove in a run.
Nick Markakis was the only Oriole to get a hit when he singled in the fourth.
Baltimore starter Brad Bergesen (5-3) got the loss, allowing four runs on six hits with four strikeouts and four walks in six innings.
