SEATTLE -- On a day Felix Hernandez wasn't particularly sharp, the Mariners ran into the best of Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. And the result was predictable, an 8-2 Angels victory on Sunday as Seattle lost just its second series of the season.
Ohtani had been up and down in his first four starts in the Majors, but the 23-year-old Japanese phenom brought his 'A' game to Safeco Field as he befuddled the Mariners for six scoreless innings before allowing a two-run homer to Ryon Healy in the seventh.
Ohtani finished his six-plus innings with two runs on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts.
