RHP Christian Bergman (0-0, 0.00) vs. RHP Jeff Hoffman (0-0, 10.13)
In case you missed it:
- James Paxton recorded only two outs — and allowed a two-run dinger to Albert Pujols — before he was forced from his start with lower-back tightness.
- That Paxton didn’t have a more serious injury was probably the most positive aspect of what turned into an 11-2 trouncing by the Angels.
- Seattle has now dropped back-to-back series, losing four of six games, and falling to 58-36.
