Christian Moore delivered a stellar performance with a two-run double and three RBIs, while Bryce Teodosio added two RBIs to power the Los Angeles Angels past the Seattle Mariners 6-4 on Thursday night.
Moore and Teodosio Drive Angel Offense
The Angels opened the scoring in the second inning when Christian Moore hit an RBI single off Seattle starter Bryan Woo, giving Los Angeles an early 1-0 lead. Seattle responded in the bottom half of the frame when Julio Rodríguez launched a two-run home run, followed by an RBI single from Leo Rivas that stretched the Mariners’ advantage to 3-1.
Los Angeles chipped away in the fifth inning. Bryce Teodosio drove in a run with a groundout to narrow the gap to 3-2, before Zach Neto delivered an RBI single to tie the game at 3-3. The deadlock broke in the sixth inning when Moore stepped up and hammered a two-run double, restoring a 5-4 lead that the Angels would not relinquish. Teodosio capped the scoring in the eighth inning with an insurance RBI single.
Pitching Performance and Bullpen Lockdown
Grayson Rodríguez took the mound for his final start of the season, allowing four runs and five hits across five innings of work. Rodríguez finished his final stretch with a 4.45 ERA and 49 strikeouts over his last 10 starts. Following his departure, the Angels bullpen locked down the Mariners’ bats. Sammy Peralta worked three scoreless innings of relief, setting the stage for Ryan Watson, who tossed a hitless ninth inning to secure his fourth save of the year.
For Seattle, Bryan Woo absorbed the loss after yielding five runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings while racking up eight strikeouts. Despite Woo’s strong strikeout numbers, the Mariners’ bullpen and late-inning hitters could not break through against Peralta and Watson.
