Mariners maintain some semblance of dignity, take series finale in Anaheim

The Seattle Mariners secured a 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, concluding a three-game series that began with the Angels leading 2-0. Jo Adell, now not part of the Angels, was celebrated in a Home Run Robbery Bobblehead Night game. The Mariners seized an early lead in the first inning off former All-Star Yusei Kikuchi, with J.P.

Crawford and Randy Arozarena scoring. Cal Raleigh added a run with a sacrifice fly, and Josh Naylor contributed a single to make the score 2-0. The Angels managed to tie it in the second inning after allowing a run to load the bases. However, the Mariners regained control and extended their lead to 5-2 by the end of the fifth inning.

Carlos Vargas' strong performance in relief helped the Mariners maintain their advantage. The Mariners bullpen continued its solid performance, allowing no runs for 4.2 innings. With the Mariners' elimination number at five, they enjoyed a day off before facing the Colorado Rockies in their final road series of the year.
