No hits until 2 deaths in the 7th inning … Velázquez doubles in the 8th inning to return 1 point
■ Mariners 8-1 Angels (Seattle, 18th Japan time)
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani finished without a turn in the Mariners match on the 17th (18th Japan time), and has been absent for the third time this season since the 12th (13th). The team lost 1-8, not the first consecutive win in June.
Otani who participated in the same game on the 16th (17th) the day before with “3rd pitcher and DH” at the same time. He threw six innings with no runs and marked his fifth win of the season, hitting multiple hits, but on the day after dawn, he was out of the starting lineup for the first time in four games due to his physical condition. He cheered from the bench, but didn’t have a chance to play.
The batting line lacking Otani did not even hit until two deaths in the seventh inning in front of last season’s Cy Young Award left arm Robbie Ray. He finally returned one point with Velázquez’s timely double in the eighth inning, chasing eight points, but suffered a big defeat. In the 8th inning, Mayfield pitched as a fielder.
