Cal Raleigh is first to 40 homers this season with tiebreaking shot in mariners' 7-2 win over angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – Cal Raleigh became the first player to hit 40 homers this season with a tiebreaking solo shot in the sixth inning of the Seattle Mariners' 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Raleigh hammered a 97 mph fastball from José Fermin (2-2) 416 feet into the right-field bleachers for his second homer in eight games since winning the Home Run Derby. Julio Rodríguez hit his fourth solo homer in three games at Angel Stadium, and Randy Arozarena also connected for the Mariners. George Kirby (5-5) struck out nine over six difficult innings of five-hit ball to earn his fourth win in five starts despite not matching his 14-strikeout performance at Angel Stadium last month. Kirby fanned Luis Rengifo on a slider with the bases loaded to end the sixth. Taylor Ward hit his 24th homer for the Angels, who have lost five of six. Tyler Anderson yielded six hits and two runs while pitching inefficiently into the fifth. The veteran left-hander and Angels trade candidate has a 5.66 ERA in his last four starts. Rodríguez connected in the third, adding his 18th homer of the season to his solo shot Thursday and two more in the Mariners' loss Friday. Arozarena led off the fourth with his 20th homer, reaching the milestone for the fifth consecutive season. Yoán Moncada, another Angels trade candidate, left in pain after Kirby's fastball hit him in the hand. X-rays were negative. Key moment: Dominic Canzone bolstered Seattle's lead with a two-run single in the sixth after Raleigh's homer, and Jorge Polanco scored moments later on Rengifo's error at second base. Key stat: Raleigh is the seventh catcher in major league history to hit 40 homers in a season. It's been done nine times overall – twice by Johnny Bench and Mike Piazza. Up next: Kyle Hendricks (5-7, 4.92 ERA) pitches for Los Angeles in the series finale Sunday against Logan Gilbert (3-3, 3.07).

Mariners' George Kirby seeks another gem in encounter vs. Angels
July 26 - Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby will make his second start of the season against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday in Anaheim, Calif. The first one went very well for Kirby, who struck out a career-high 14 batters and didn't walk one in seven innings of a 3-2 victory on June 8. He allowed a two-run homer by Taylor Ward and one other hit overall before exiting after just 96 pitches. "That's the guy he can be," catcher Mitch Garver said of Kirby (4-5, 4.65 ERA). "It's probably one of the most important starts we've had." Another big one comes Saturday night as the Mariners look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss in 10 innings to the Angels. Seattle is clinging to the second wild-card slot in the American League. Shortstop Zach Neto celebrated his first-ever bobblehead night with the first walk-off hit of his career, a two-out single that drove in LaMonte Wade Jr. from second base. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for Los Angeles, which closed to within 4 1/2 games of the final wild-card spot. "It means everything, seeing everybody with my bobblehead. It's very special," Neto said after getting doused with Gatorade. "We needed this win. Flush it at midnight and come back in tomorrow and try to do the same thing." "That was tremendous," interim Angels manager Ray Montgomery said. "Bobblehead nights (are) good omens. I'm sure he was excited about it. That was good. It was fun. I'm glad he got the opportunity to do it." The question is will it stop the Angels from being sellers at the trade deadline? Several media outlets reported that Los Angeles was shopping closer Kenley Jansen, third baseman Yoan Moncada, utility infielder Luis Rengifo, starting left-hander Tyler Anderson and Ward. Anderson (2-6, 4.43 ERA) is scheduled to start Saturday night for the Angels. He is 1-3 with a 5.01 ERA in 10 career starts against the Mariners. He picked up the loss in Kirby's gem on June 8 allowing three runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings. Kirby is 5-4 with a 3.52 ERA in nine career starts against Los Angeles, including 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA in six starts in Anaheim. Seattle's runs on Friday came on solo homers by center fielder Julio Rodriguez. It was the fifth multi-home run game of Rodriguez's career as he became the third player in Mariners' history to have five or more multi-homer games by the age of 24. The other two were Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. (14) and Alex Rodriguez (14). "Incredibly talented player," Seattle manager Dan Wilson said of Julio Rodriguez. "He continues to let that talent shine. Just really seeing the ball well right now. Couple of homers off a tough opponent tonight in (Jose) Soriano. Just thought he was on each pitch and seeing the ball well, and when he got his pitch he was able to drive it." First baseman Josh Naylor, obtained in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, flew across the country from Pittsburgh on Friday and had a single in four at-bats in his Mariners' debut. --Field Level Media
