Los Angeles AngelsvsSeattle Mariners
LAA 2/SEA 6
Things to say
The Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 at T-Mobile Park.
01
opener
Mariners took care of the Angels 6-2 at home. Seattle's bats finally showed up. Nice little tone-setter at T-Mobile.
02
key player
I don't have the box in front of me, but Seattle's middle of the order did the damage — six runs against the Angels doesn't happen by accident.
03
hot take
Angels are 36-50 and it shows. That pitching staff keeps leaving stuff over the plate and good lineups make you pay.
04
deep cut
Both clubs are basically a coin flip on paper — Seattle's only 43-43 — so games like this are about who gets traffic on the bases and cashes it in.
05
exit
Anyway, Seattle's trending up — curious if they can keep it rolling the rest of this series.
The recap
The Mariners took care of business at home, handling the Angels 6-2 to climb back to .500 at 43-43. Seattle's bats did the damage early and let the bullpen lock it down from there, never giving LA a real opening to make it interesting.
The Angels, sitting at 36-50, just couldn't string anything together against the heart of the order. Tidy night at T-Mobile Park, and the M's bank a comfortable one.
