Ibanez, Weaver power M's past Orioles
05:18 AM PDT on Wednesday, August 8, 2007
BALTIMORE - Raul Ibanez had two homers and four RBIs, Jeff Weaver earned his first win since June 25, and the Seattle Mariners pulled away for a 10-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.
Ibanez had gone 31 games and 116 at-bats without a home run until he hit a solo shot in the second inning against Steve Trachsel. He added a two-run drive off Jamie Walker in the seventh and doubled in a run in the eighth.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Jeff Weaver delivers against the Baltimore Orioles during the first inning.
It was his seventh career multihomer game, the second this season.
Jose Guillen got four hits for the Mariners, who have won seven of 10. Ichiro Suzuki went 3-for-5, his ninth three-hit game of the season. He's 100-for-263 (.380) lifetime against Baltimore and is batting .392 at Camden Yards.
Weaver (3-10) allowed three runs and 11 hits in six innings. The right-hander was winless in his last six starts, had lost four straight decisions and was 0-5 on the road.
Weaver left with Seattle trailing 3-2, but the Mariners took the lead with a three-run seventh. With two outs and a runner on second, Orioles manager Dave Trembley summoned Jamie Walker (1-2), who had gone 19 straight appearances without allowing a run.
Ibanez hit Walker's third pitch over the right-field wall. The Mariners followed with three straight singles, the last by Jose Lopez off Chad Bradford, to make it 5-3.
Seattle scored three runs in the eighth and added two more in the ninth.
Ramon Hernandez had three hits and two RBIs for the Orioles. Since the All-Star break, Hernandez has gone 21-for-59 to raise his batting average 35 points to .271.
Hernandez hit a two-out RBI single off Weaver to put Baltimore up 3-2 in the sixth, but the lead didn't last long.
Ibanez led off the second inning with his seventh home run, and an RBI single by Hernandez tied it in the bottom half.
Baltimore took a 2-1 lead in the third. Corey Patterson hit a leadoff double, stole third and scored on a single by Nick Markakis.
Seattle tied it in the fifth. After Trachsel retired the first two batters, Suzuki singled and Jose Vidro walked before Guillen hit an RBI single.
Trachsel allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. The right-hander is 0-3 in eight starts since June 8.
