First Inning


Both teams started cautiously, with neither side managing to score. The Angels and Mariners each struggled to find their rhythm early on, resulting in a scoreless opening inning.


Fifth Inning


The game took an exciting turn in the fifth inning when the Halos erupted for four runs. This offensive burst was highlighted by Mike Trout's impressive performance; he contributed significantly with a home run that brought in two runs. This display of power shifted momentum firmly in favor of the home team.


Seventh Inning


In response, the M’s managed to put one run on the board during the seventh inning thanks to Julio Rodríguez's efforts. However, this was not enough to challenge the lead established by Los Angeles earlier in the game.


Ninth Inning


As both teams entered into what would be their final opportunity for scoring, neither could add further runs. The Angels' bullpen held strong against any attempts from Seattle's lineup to close the gap or overturn their deficit.


Overall pitching statistics were notable for both sides; while Kyle Hendricks maintained control from start through six innings allowing only two hits and one earned run—his ERA standing at an impressive 1.5—the relief pitchers ensured no additional scores were conceded thereafter.
