The Seattle Mariners defeated the Los Angeles Angels 3-1 in 10 innings, spoiling the Angels’ home opener in Anaheim.
Cole Young Delivers the Breakthrough
Cole Young broke a scoreless tie in the 10th inning with a clutch triple that drove in the automatic runner. His hit set the tone for the inning, and a two-run single by Josh Naylor extended the lead to 3-0.
Mariners Pitching Dominates
Seattle’s pitching staff was outstanding, combining for a one-hitter. Starter Bryan Woo threw seven strong innings, allowing just one hit while striking out six.
Reliever Andres Muñoz struck out the side in the ninth to earn the win, while Gabe Speier closed out the game in the 10th for the save.
Angels Struggle at the Plate
The Angels managed only one hit all game, a wind-aided bloop single. Their lone run came in the 10th inning when Jorge Soler drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.
Mike Trout scored that run as the automatic runner but was otherwise held quiet by Seattle’s pitching.
Tight Pitching Duel Early
The game remained scoreless through nine innings as Woo and Angels starter Reid Detmers traded strong outings. Detmers allowed three hits over 6 2/3 innings, keeping the Mariners in check early.
Injury and Game Notes
Mariners infielder Brendan Donovan exited the game with a leg strain in the seventh inning. There was no immediate update on his condition.
