Mariners: Late Thunder

The Seattle Mariners were getting shut out and no-hit for five innings on Tuesday night by Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jose Suarez, but they broke out with three runs in the sixth inning on their way to an 8-2 victory. Suarez had retired the first 16 Mariners he faced and was up 2-0 before the Seattle offense came alive.

Suarez has been pitching really well, but we were able to get a couple of good swings and then get some momentum,” Mariners first baseman Ty France said after Tuesday’s win.

France tied the game with a two-run single in the sixth. France is batting .287 with 19 doubles, 14 home runs, 59 RBIs, and 44 runs scored.

Rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez was 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored in the win. Rodriguez is batting .270 with 19 doubles, two triples, 19 home runs, 62 RBIs and 59 runs scored.

Seattle will go for the series sweep with right-hander George Kirby making his 17th start. Kirby is 4-3 with a 3.39 ERA, striking out 86 in 85 innings. He’s won his last two starts, including a six-inning stint against the Angels on Aug. 6, as he allowed one run on six hits while striking out eight and walking none.

Not Enough Offense For Angels

The Los Angeles Angels are putting the pressure on their pitchers with their lack of offense, as they managed just two runs for the second straight game on Tuesday night. Los Angeles had won five of six prior to this series.

Second baseman Luis Rengifo has been the hottest hitter for Los Angeles, hitting a home run for the second straight game on Tuesday night. Rengifo has a six-game hit streak and has driven in five runs over the last three contests. He’s batting .273 with 17 doubles, three triples, nine home runs, 32 RBIs and 29 runs scored in 83 games.

Defending AL MVP Shohei Ohtani was 3-for-4 with a triple in Tuesday’s setback. Ohtani is batting .259 with 17 doubles, four triples, 26 home runs, 68 RBIs and 64 runs scored.

Right-hander Touki Toussaint will make his second start and fourth overall appearance on Wednesday. Toussaint is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA over 13.1 innings, striking out 15. He picked up the win in his first start of the season against the Oakland Athletics on Aug. 10, throwing five shutout innings and allowing just two hits while striking out six and walking two.

Mariners vs Angels Head-To-Head

Seattle is now 4-1 at Angel Stadium this season, having won at least half of their games at the venue in each season since 2018. The MLB lines for Wednesday’s series finale anticipate that success continuing, with the Mariners heavy favorites to complete the sweep.
