The Seattle Mariners will match up against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. The Mariners defeated the New York Yankees 7-3 on Wednesday to improve to 57-49 on the year. The Angels are now 44-61 on the season after their 8-7 defeat to the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.
"Series win in the big city. #SeaUsRise" - Mariners
Seattle will trot out Robbie Ray for Friday's game. He is 8-8 with a 4.11 ERA and will be making his 22nd start. The Angels offense he'll be up against ranks sixth-lowest in runs per game, even though they did blast seven home runs on Thursday. In his previous start, Ray threw 2 2/3 innings, surrendering five hits and four earned runs in a loss to the Houston Astros.
Ray has not been anywhere near his 2021 self when he was awarded American League Cy Young honors. He will get to face a struggling lineup, though, on Friday, so we'll see if he can have a bounceback start.
Patrick Sandoval will be on the hill Friday for the Halos. He is 3-7 with a 3.41 ERA in 17 starts so far on the year. The lefty's last two performances have not been encouraging, as he's given up seven earned runs in his last 8 2/3 innings.
"FINAL: Angels 7, Athletics 8" - @Angels
The Mariners offense Sandoval will face ranks 23rd in runs per game, so he has a decent chance to get back on track.
