The Angels<\/a>\u2019 offense was stifled in a 10-inning, 3-1 loss<\/a> to the Seattle Mariners during their home opener Friday night in front of 44,931 fans at Angel Stadium.<\/p>\n

In a scoreless game in the 10th inning, Seattle\u2019s Cole Young tripled to the right-field corner off Angels reliever Brent Suter<\/a> that scored Luke Raley from second base. Two outs later, Suter intentionally walked Julio Rodr\u00edguez. Josh Naylor singled in two more runs to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n

Jorge Soler<\/a> drove in Mike Trout<\/a> on a sacrifice fly to right field in the bottom of the 10th, but that was all the Angels (3-5) could muster after Seattle held them to just one hit and retired the final 21 Angels batters.<\/p>\n

Mariners starter Bryan Woo<\/a> gave up that one hit, struck out six and walked one over seven strong innings. Seattle relievers Matt Brash, Andres Mu\u00f1oz and Gabe Speier were just as dominant, combining for six strikeouts and no walks over three no-hit innings.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Woo] is one of the best starters in the league. He was on his game tonight,\u201d Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said. \u201cHe pitched well and when a guy like that pitches well you just got to do your best in battle and I feel like our guys were battling, just couldn\u2019t muster anything up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angels starter Reid Detmers<\/a> also had a strong game, giving up three hits, with four strikeouts and four walks over 6\u2154 innings. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a well-fought game and obviously we didn\u2019t come out on the winning side, but we\u2019ll go get them tomorrow,\u201d Detmers said.<\/p>\n

Suzuki thought Detmers was in control and executed pitches well. He was getting ahead in the count of batters and putting them away, while also inducing soft contact, which allowed him to go deep into the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe pitched his butt off,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cIt was nice to see him rebound from the last one and really have a good start.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the first inning, Trout stared down Woo before taking first base after a sinker hit the star outfielder\u2019s left shoulder. The blow came after the right-hander threw a four-seam fastball that nearly missed Trout\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime you get thrown up-and-in and then you get hit on the next pitch, you\u2019re gonna be upset,\u201d Trout said.<\/p>\n

The first hit came in the bottom of the third after Oswald Peraza sent a bloop single to right field. Woo cleared the base paths after picking off the runner for the second out of the inning. Zach Neto grounded out to stop the Angels\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n

Detmers threw a fastball behind Rodr\u00edguez to open the top of the fourth inning. The outfielder stared down the left-hander and later grounded out to first baseman Nolan Schanuel. Seattle threatened to break the tie after Naylor reached first and Randy Arozarena followed with a single to right field.<\/p>\n

Neto threw out Brendan Donovan at third to record the second out and Detmers struck out J.P. Crawford to end the inning.<\/p>\n

Trout almost ended the pitchers\u2019 duel in the bottom of the sixth inning after sharply hitting a fly ball to left field but Arozarena tracked it down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I got enough, for sure,\u201d he said. \u201cI hit it off the end a little bit but I thought I got enough \u2014 it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suzuki also believed Trout hit the ball hard enough for a home run.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t really see what the exit [velocity] or anything like that was, but I thought it came off his bat pretty well,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cObviously the wind kind of hung it up there, but I thought it was a great pass.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a one-out walk to Crawford in the top of the seventh, Detmers picked off the runner but gave up a single to Victor Robles. The hit concluded his night after 104 pitches. He walked off to a round of applause from the crowd, but he didn\u2019t notice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in my zone, so I mean, it was a good game,\u201d said Detmers, who lowered his ERA to 2.38. <\/p>\n

Reliever Chase Silseth struck out Young to end the seventh.<\/p>\n

In the eighth, Drew Pomeranz gave up a one-out walk to Cal Raleigh and a single to Rodriguez but retired Naylor and Arozarena on a fly ball and a groundball, respectively.<\/p>\n

In the ninth, Jordan Romano threw a fastball that looked like it hit Leo Rivas, but the call was overturned after a challenge confirmed it hit the bat. The right-hander struck out Rivas and Crawford and got pinch-hitter Raley to line out.<\/p>\n

With two outs and two strikes, Trout struck out to send the game to extra innings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Angels\u2019 offense was stifled in a 10-inning, 3-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners during their home opener…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1426,6129,111741,10254,100918,100575,48,52,51,47,50,49,5128,18035,2967,98594,111740,7853,6862,4119,14504],"class_list":{"0":"post-251392","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-angels","9":"tag-bottom","10":"tag-detmer","11":"tag-first-inning","12":"tag-four-seam-fastball","13":"tag-josh-naylor","14":"tag-la","15":"tag-la-headlines","16":"tag-la-news","17":"tag-los-angeles","18":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","19":"tag-los-angeles-news","20":"tag-mike-trout","21":"tag-offense","22":"tag-out","23":"tag-randy-arozarena","24":"tag-right-field","25":"tag-seattle","26":"tag-seventh","27":"tag-top","28":"tag-zach-neto"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
