US EditionJorge Polanco on fire as Mariners open two-game set vs. Angels
- Jorge Polanco delivered multiple key hits, including a two-run homer, as the Seattle Mariners won the two-game series opener against the Los Angeles Angels in Seattle on April 29, 2025.
- Polanco's strong performance follows his offseason surgery and mechanical swing adjustments, which helped him overcome a mild oblique strain limiting him to batting left-handed this season.
- The Mariners have surged to lead the AL West with a 17-12 record, partly due to Polanco's 1.242 OPS and career-high production, while the Angels have fallen to the division cellar amid offensive struggles.
- FanGraphs rates Seattle with a 74% playoff chance and 46.3% odds to win the division, and manager Dan Wilson praised the lineup’s depth and confidence amid a seven-series winning streak.
- Polanco described this stretch as "really good" and said, "I think the approach of staying in the middle helps," indicating optimism that his performance could further bolster the Mariners’ division lead.
