Los Angeles AngelsvsSeattle Mariners
LAA 3/SEA 8
Things to say
The Mariners beat the Angels 8-3 at T-Mobile Park.
01
opener
Mariners handled the Angels 8-3 at home. Bats woke up early and never really let off. Angels just couldn't answer.
02
key player
The heart of the M's order did the damage — eight runs doesn't happen without the middle of that lineup squaring stuff up.
03
hot take
Angels are 36-51 for a reason. Pitching keeps leaving too much over the plate and it's the same story every getaway day.
04
deep cut
Seattle scratched to 44-43 with that win — first time flirting with .500 in a bit. T-Mobile Park plays big, so putting up eight there means something.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the M's can keep it rolling — I want to see who they throw next.
The recap
Seattle took care of business at home, cruising past the Angels 8-3 to nudge back over .500 in the standings. The Mariners' bats did the heavy lifting, piling on enough runs to give their starter and the bullpen plenty of breathing room.
Once they built the lead it never really felt in doubt, and the heart of the order kept the pressure on all night. For an Angels club sitting at 36-51, this was just another road night that got away early.
