Terrill / Associated Press) The Angels ' offense was stifled in a 10-inning, 3-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners during their home opener Friday night in front of a sellout crowd at Angel Stadium.
In a scoreless game in the 10th inning, Seattle's Cole Young tripled to the right-field corner off Angels reliever Brent Suter that scored Luke Raley from second base. Two outs later, Suter intentionally walked Julio Rodríguez. Josh Naylor singled in two more runs to make it 3-0.
Jorge Soler drove in Mike Trout on a sacrifice fly to right field in the bottom of the 10th, but that was all the Angels (3-5) could muster after Seattle held them to just one hit and retired the final 21 Angels batters. In the first inning, Trout stared down Mariners starter Bryan Woo before taking first base after a sinker hit the star outfielder’s left shoulder. The blow came after the right-hander threw a four-seam fastball that nearly missed Trout's face.
