Last day of June means we are halfway through 2026. Yes, halfway through a year most of us saw as a Sci Fi year. We are getting old, and this team is not helping. A winning Angels team would at least make this decade fun, alas…
And Soriano had tried. He really did. Sadly, the 6th happened. He went 5+ innings, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits, 2 of those runs were inherited, as the Mariners scored 5 in the 6th, turning this game from a pitching duel to a “Angels bullpen ruins everything again” game.
Not that the offense helped. The fact that it was 0-0 in the 6th means the Angels failed to do anything at the plate as well. At least until AFTER the mariners scored 5 in the 6th…
Highlighted Reacap
It was a pitching duel between Aces, although the Mariners had multiple, and Soriano has not looked like one as of late. Still, it was scoreless through 5, and it was great for pitching fans… until the 6th, when Soriano got BABIP-ed to death.
It was really bad by Silseth, doing the opposite of a firehose.
The Angels got some back in the 7th, a Logan single
And a Neto single
Too bad the bullpen gave ALL 3 RUNS BACK
Angels couldn’t score any more and lose on G.A’s birthday.
Upcoming
No game tomorrow, Mariners again on Thursday, somehow.
