The Seattle Mariners earned a victory in their second game of the season on Tuesday night, with Bryan Woo earning the win in his first start. Woo, a rookie right-hander, pitched five innings of one-run ball, striking out five and walking two. He allowed just four hits and was able to keep the Angels off balance all night.
The Mariners offense was able to provide Woo with plenty of run support, scoring six runs on nine hits. Kyle Seager led the way with three hits, including a double and a home run. Seager also drove in two runs and scored two. J.P. Crawford and Dylan Moore each had two hits and an RBI, while Tom Murphy added a solo home run.
The Mariners bullpen was able to shut the door on the Angels, with Anthony Misiewicz, Brandon Brennan, and Taylor Williams combining for four scoreless innings. Misiewicz was particularly impressive, striking out four in two innings of work.
Woo’s performance was a pleasant surprise for the Mariners, who had expected him to struggle in his first start. He showed poise and confidence on the mound, and his ability to keep the Angels off balance was impressive. He will look to build on this performance in his next start.
The Mariners will look to make it two wins in a row when they face the Angels again on Wednesday night. They will send Marco Gonzales to the mound, and will be hoping for another strong performance from their starting pitcher. With a win, the Mariners will have a chance to take the series against their division rivals.
