No Seattle Mariners comeback this time.
No four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, either.
As has been the case for the season when these two teams meet, Justin Upton and Kole Calhoun continue to confound Mariners’ pitching. Mike Trout does, too, but he was given the day off.
So Upton hit a three-run homer one night after he hit two homers, and Calhoun hit a go-ahead shot in the bottom of the seventh as the Mariners just missed the series sweep in a 4-3 loss on Sunday in Anaheim.
The Mariners (82-67) had found some long-lost life offensively the first three games of this road trip, but weren’t able to push their streak of at least five runs scored to four games – not even with Daniel Vogelbach’s two-run blast.
