The Mariners secured a 9-3 victory against the Angels, powered by a six-run seventh inning that marked their fourth consecutive win. Randy Arozarena opened the scoring with his fifth home run of the season, while Leo Rivas excelled with three hits and three RBIs, continuing his strong start to the season. JP Crawford and Donovan Solano added two hits each, contributing to a potent Mariners offense that has performed well recently. Emerson Hancock, despite yielding three runs, struck out four batters, while Casey Legumina led the bullpen to a shutout, earning his second win. The Mariners now lead the AL West by two games over Houston and Texas after sweeping LA and winning their seventh straight series.

Outfielder Luke Raley was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain, joining other key players on the IL. General Manager Justin Hollander indicated that George Kirby could begin a rehab assignment soon, following shoulder inflammation that sidelined him during spring training. The Mariners have a day off before facing the Rangers in a weekend series, aiming to maintain their momentum.
