Mariners start 3-game series against the Angels
Seattle enters with a 42-43 record and a 3.72 team ERA as George Kirby faces Ryan Johnson in the opener.
On Monday, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 at T-Mobile Park, with Cole Young hitting two home runs and George Kirby pitching eight strong innings to open the six-game homestand.
George Kirby limited the Angels to two runs on seven hits while striking out seven, while Angels starter Ryan Johnson allowed three runs over five innings in a stark pitching contrast.
Dom Canzone launched his 13th home run 428 feet to right-center, and Cole Young added his second homer off reliever Mitch Farris, marking his first multi-homer game of the season.
With this win, the Mariners reached a 43-43 record and remain a half-game behind the first-place Texas Rangers in the American League West division standings.
The series continues Tuesday as Angels right-handed pitcher Walbert Ureña starts against Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller, who carries a 1.97 ERA into the second game of the three-game series.
