First Inning


The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Angels managed to score 1 run from 3 hits in the first inning, while the Mariners were unable to capitalize on their single hit. This early lead by the Halos was short-lived as both teams settled into a defensive battle.


Fifth Inning


The turning point came in the fifth inning when Seattle's bats came alive. The M’s exploded for 3 runs off of 4 hits, showcasing power and precision that had been absent earlier in the game. Jorge Polanco played a crucial role with his consistent hitting performance throughout this period.


Seventh Inning


In response, Los Angeles attempted to mount a comeback during the seventh inning by adding another run from two hits. However, Seattle's bullpen held firm under pressure and prevented further damage from being done by effectively managing base runners and maintaining composure on defense.


Eighth Inning


Seattle added an insurance run in the eighth inning thanks to strategic hitting and aggressive base running which increased their lead over Los Angeles. Despite efforts from key players like Mike Trout on offense for LA during this time frame; they couldn’t close down or overcome what had become an insurmountable deficit against them due largely because of strong pitching performances delivered consistently across innings by Emerald City pitchers such as Logan Evans who maintained control throughout his start allowing only one earned run across five innings pitched while striking out three batters along way too!
