Angels lefty Kenny Rosenberg, making his first major league start, pitched 4 2/3 innings. He allowed two hits, walked three and struck out one.

Rosenberg cruised through the first three innings before allowing two walks and a single to J.P. Crawford to load the bases in the fourth. But Rosenberg got Cal Raleigh to ground out to end the inning.

Seattle's Justin Upton led off the fifth with a double and took third on a one-out flyout. Angels interim manager Phil Nevin then brought in Jose Quijada to face Ty France. Quijada got France to hit a comebacker to the mound after the game was delayed for a couple of minutes as a fire alarm went off at the ballpark.

Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (7-3) took the loss despite making his seventh consecutive quality start. Gilbert went six innings and gave up two runs on four hits, with no walks and six strikeouts.
