Apr 30, 2025; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (3), left, scores a run ahead of a tag by Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe (14) during the seventh inning at T-Mobile Park. Mandatory Credit: Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images J.P. Crawford’s two-run single broke a tie in the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners went on to defeat the visiting Los Angeles Angels 9-3 Wednesday afternoon to sweep a two-game set between the American League West rivals.
Randy Arozarena homered for the division-leading Mariners, who have won four games in a row and 15 of their past 20.
Jorge Soler went deep for the last-place Angels, who lost their fifth consecutive game and for the 13th time in their past 17. The Angels also might have lost Mike Trout for the immediate future.
Trout was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the fourth inning due to an apparent leg injury. The 11-time All-Star and three-time AL MVP, whose past four seasons have been cut short by injuries — he has played more than 100 games just once since 2019 — appeared to pull up after trying to leg out an infield single in the third inning.
He returned to right field for the bottom of the third before Jo Adell pinch-hit for him with two on and two out in the fourth. The Angels did not provide an update on Trout – who had played every inning this season entering the day — by the end of Wednesday’s game.
Mariners reliever Casey Legumina (2-0) threw a scoreless seventh before Eduard Bazardo and Troy Taylor each posted a 1-2-3 inning to close it out. Starter Emerson Hancock allowed nine hits and three runs in his six-inning stint to go with four strikeouts and two walks.
Angels starter Tyler Anderson also recorded a quality start as he gave up four hits and three runs (two earned) over six innings with five strikeouts and two walks. Seattle took the lead in the seventh off Angels reliever Reid Detmers (0-1), who failed to retire any of the five batters he faced.
Leo Rivas led off with an infield single and Samad Taylor reached on a bunt, then both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Crawford grounded a single to left to make it 5-3. Julio Rodriguez lined an RBI double off the center-field wall and Cal Raleigh bounced a single to left to score Rodriguez. That made it 7-3 and ended Detmers’ outing.
Arozarena greeted Ryan Johnson with an infield single and Mitch Garver walked to load the bases. With two outs, Rivas grounded a single off the glove of Angels first baseman Nolan Schaunel to score the final two runs.
The Angels opened the scoring in the first with singles by Nolan Schanuel, Trout and Logan O’Hoppe.
Arozarena led off the bottom of the second with a solo shot to left and Rivas added an RBI single later in the inning to give the Mariners a 2-1 lead.
Soler homered to left with two outs in the third to tie the score before the Mariners regained the lead in the bottom of the inning. Cal Raleigh reached on third baseman Luis Rengifo’s throwing error, took second on a wild pitch, stole third and came home as catcher O’Hoppe’s throw was also errant.
The Angels tied it at 3-3 in the fourth on singles by Gustavo Campero and Kevin Newman and a fielder’s choice.

Ashley Barnes interview: ‘I wanted to get this club back where it belongs’
Ashley Barnes’ smile is infectious.Sat on the balcony at Burnley’s training ground, he is exactly where he wants to be — home.Nearly two years ago, the 35-year-old was standing on a different balcony at Burnley’s Town Hall, addressing thousands of supporters who adore him. His contract was up and he thought he was saying his final goodbyes. Winning the 2022-23 Championship title made it the perfect ending.Advertisement“I thought I’d never be back, certainly not in a playing role,” says the striker. “I knew I’d maybe come back one day on the coaching side, but I never thought I’d see myself put on the shirt again.”It looked further away than ever at the start of this season, his second with Norwich City. Frustrations with a complicated calf problem had seen the idea of retirement drift into his thoughts. His mind could […]
Jalen Brunson sends Knicks fans, celebrities into a frenzy with game-winning 3-pointer to eliminate Pistons
Getty Images The New York Knicks are moving on to the second round after they survived the Detroit Pistons, 116-113, in Game 6 on the strength of a Jalen Brunson game-winning 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds to play. After leading by as many as 15, and 12 in the fourth quarter, the Knicks saw themselves on the wrong side of a 19-point swing to go down seven with 2:35 to play. But Brunson just wouldn't let his team go down, scoring seven of New York's final 11 points to close the series. That is just a nasty slam-on-the-brakes move to absolutely lose Ausar Thompson, an electric defender who gave Brunson fits in Game 5 and had snuffed out a Brunson isolation with a clean strip a minute earlier. That's how you win Clutch Player of the Year, as Brunson just did. There are […]

David Beckham at 50: Why ‘Goldenballs’ is closer than ever to the knighthood he craves
When you have David Beckham’s wealth, celebrity status and a social circle made up of Hollywood A-listers, why limit yourself to just one birthday bash?Beckham’s celebrations for his 50th — a series of events on both sides of the Atlantic — kicked off in March with a party at Cipriani, an Italian restaurant in Miami that is so exclusive they do not share the menu (or prices) online.AdvertisementLionel Messi was among the 100-plus guest list, along with Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets — all players at the Inter Miami team that has Beckham at its forefront.Photographs showed Beckham looking rather diminutive beside NFL legend Tom Brady and former basketball star Shaquille O’Neal, towering over him at 6ft 4in and 7ft 1in respectively. Hollywood stars Justin Theroux and Fisher Stevens were also at the black-tie event, as well as […]
Explained: Aston Villa’s latest stadium expansion plans
Aston Villa’s long-term vision to build a 50,000-seat Villa Park has faced several complex issues.In April 2022, chief executive Christian Purslow announced plans to redevelop the ground, which was opened in 1897, across several phases.Even then, pre-Unai Emery and Champions League quarter-finals cachet, there was an appetite for expansion. Purslow outlined a project marking Villa Park’s first major redevelopment since the 2000-01 season, when a larger Trinity Road Stand was built.AdvertisementPlans progressed over the ensuing 18 months and a timeframe was put in place, with the intention of the ground being ready a year out from hosting European Championship fixtures in 2028. Increasing the number of seats centred on expanding the North Stand, with planning permission secured, ideas finalised and work set to begin at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.Yet the complexities lingered, exacerbated by Purslow’s departure.

Bruno Lage vs Eagle Football: The £6m lawsuit for the ‘job offer’ that never came
It was Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano who first noticed the similarities between the business of football and what Walt Disney started a century ago.“Disney uses its characters, such as Mickey Mouse, to produce audiovisual content, sell T-shirts and instigate theme parks,” he wrote in Goal: The Ball Doesn’t Go In By Chance in 2012. “Manchester United might not have had Mickey Mouse, but it did have David Beckham, who used to sell a whole lot of television programmes (football matches), T-shirts, and to turn Old Trafford into a lucrative theme park.”AdvertisementThis “Disneyfication” of football is the theory underpinning the multi-club ownership model that Soriano has implemented at City Football Group, the holding company that owns stakes in 13 clubs, most notably Manchester City.But a £6million ($8m) legal case filed at London’s Commercial Court in March has revealed that […]
