Instead, the Angels had runners at first and third for Fletcher, who grounded a 1-2 pitch into right field. Trout then blasted his 31st homer of the season into the Mariners’ bullpen in left-center field. Right-hander Ty Buttrey (6-4), the Angels’ fourth pitcher, struck out all three batters he faced in the eighth inning to get the victory. Mariners right-handed reliever Matt Wisler served as the opener, pitching a scoreless first inning. The Mariners took a 2-0 lead on single runs in the second and third innings.
