RHP Félix Hernández (8-6, 5.11) vs. RHP German Márquez (6-8, 5.14)
In case you missed it:
- It wasn’t Mitch Haniger or Mike Zunino who carried the Mariners to a series win over the Angels, but rather their replacements: Guillermo Heredia and Chris Herrmann, who accounted for three key runs.
- Edwin Diaz shut things down, again, in the ninth, recording his league-leading 34th save.
- The Mariners have now built a 12-game lead on the Angels, the same that the Angels held over them through 88 games in 1995.
