Angels Show Signs of Life in 5-3 Loss to Mariners
SEATTLE — The Los Angeles Angels showed glimpses of offensive potential but fell short in a 5-3 defeat against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. After a troubling 21-inning scoreless streak, the Angels managed to put three runs on the board in the final three innings. However, their recent struggles were evident, as they have averaged just 2.4 runs per game over their last 16 outings, losing 12 of those.
Manager Ron Washington noted improved competitiveness in their at-bats, highlighting back-to-back runs in the eighth inning, sparked by three doubles from Zach Neto, Nolan Schanuel, and Jorge Soler. Logan O’Hoppe finally broke the scoreless streak with a solo home run in the seventh.
Despite their efforts, the Angels struggled with missed opportunities, including failing to capitalize on multiple walks and striking out 11 times, reaching double-digit strikeouts for the 13th time in their last 16 games. Pitcher Jack Kochanowicz allowed a crucial three-run homer to Jorge Polanco, who notched five RBIs in the game, significantly impacting the outcome.
While the Angels displayed flashes of offense, consistent execution remains a challenge as they aim to turn their season around.
