The Mariners won their ninth straight game with the rookie right-hander on the mound, defeating the Los Angeles Angels 7-4 Sunday. The Mariners won for the fifth time in their last seven games despite Shohei Ohtani’s 34th homer of the season. He added to his major league-leading home run total in the ninth inning, hitting his first since the All-Star break. It is also the longest single-season streak for a Mariners pitcher since they won 13 straight starts by Jaime Moyer in 2001. Angels: Ohtani (4-1, 3.49) takes the mound on Monday when Los Angeles starts a six-game road trip in Oakland.
