  • Christian Moore's three-run homer built a five-run Angels lead, and Los Angeles held off a late Seattle rally for a 7-5 win Friday night. The official MLB game feed shows the Angels leading 6-0 after Zach Neto's seventh-inning solo shot before the Mariners scored five over the last two innings. MLB's clip of Moore's homer comes from this game and shows the sixth-inning swing that gave Los Angeles breathing room.

    The Angels scored once in the first and added a run in the fourth when Vaughn Grissom singled home Mike Trout. The sixth was the game's biggest offensive moment for the visitors. Wade Meckler and Grissom were aboard when Moore hit his second home run of the season to left-center, turning a 2-0 game into a 5-0 lead. Neto then hit his 27th home run in the seventh. In the ninth, his double brought Bryce Teodosio home for what became an important insurance run.

    Reid Detmers gave the Angels six scoreless innings and seven strikeouts, according to the final pitching line. He left with the club comfortably ahead, but Seattle made the bullpen finish a much tighter game. The Mariners scored twice in the eighth, first when Julio Rodríguez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and then on a Michael Arroyo single. Those plays cut the deficit to 6-2 before Los Angeles added Neto's ninth-inning run.

  • Seattle kept coming in its last turn. Randy Arozarena's triple drove in Weston Wilson, and Dominic Canzone followed with a two-run homer to left to make it 7-5. The rally stopped there. The official play log shows Luke Murphy getting Julio Rodríguez on a fly ball to right for the final out. The Mariners finished with seven hits; Canzone had three and drove in two. The Angels had 10 hits, including three from Neto and four from Meckler.

    The final score reflects both halves of the game. Moore and Detmers put the Angels in control, while Seattle's late offense made Neto's extra run necessary. Los Angeles won despite allowing all five Mariners runs after Detmers departed.
