Angels lose to the Mariners on GA’s Birthday

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.

Left in too long, or unlucky?

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.

5-0 Mariners

It was really bad by Silseth, doing the opposite of a firehose.

The Angels got some back in the 7th, a Logan single

5-1 Mariners

And a Neto single

5-3 Mariners

Too bad the bullpen gave ALL 3 RUNS BACK

7-3 Mariners
8-3 Mariners

Angels couldn’t score any more and lose on G.A’s birthday.

Upcoming

No game tomorrow, Mariners again on Thursday, somehow.

Right now, just finishing with 63 wins and not losing 100 games is a worthy goal. 🆘

We don’t care about winning, Arturo. That’s why nobody’s here.

I guess it could have been worse. Churn the page!
