The Seattle Mariners completed a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a thrilling 10-inning victory on Sunday. The Mariners had been struggling to find their footing in the early part of the season, but this series was a huge boost for the team.
The Mariners started off the series strong, taking the first two games by a combined score of 14-2. They then followed up with a 5-4 victory in the third game before completing the sweep with a dramatic 10-inning win in the finale.
The game went into extra innings tied at four, but the Mariners were able to break the deadlock in the tenth inning. After a leadoff single by Dee Gordon, Ryon Healy drove him in with a double to left field. Healy then scored on a sacrifice fly by Kyle Seager, giving the Mariners a 6-4 lead.
The Angels threatened in the bottom of the tenth, loading the bases with two outs, but reliever Nick Vincent was able to get out of the jam and secure the victory for the Mariners.
The sweep was a huge confidence boost for the Mariners, who have now won five of their last six games. They will look to continue their momentum as they head into their next series against the Oakland Athletics.
The Mariners have been playing well lately and this series sweep should give them even more confidence as they look to make a run in the American League West. If they can keep up this level of play, they could be a real force to be reckoned with in the division.
