Seattle Meriners Catcher Cal Rale led the major league at home with 24, but said that his team needs more than long ball if it is going to solve its recent aggressive crises.
Mariners have lost 11 of their last 16 matches and left their lead in the American League West. He lost 5–4 to Los Angeles Angels on Friday, and teams will meet again on Saturday night in Anahem, California.
Meriners have 52 runs in 16 matches, who score an average of 2.3 runs per game in their 11 defeats. While the house certainly helps, Rale said that small ball is the key to turning things.
“We are receiving people, but you have to take advantage of it, right?” Rale said. “I mean, this is the name of the game. We just got to find a way to get those runs as if we were in the beginning of the year.
“Sometimes, this is not always from swing. You have got a split down.
Right-arm Louis Castilo (4-3, 3.03 ERA) will make his 12th start of the season for Seattle, which defeated Minnesota Twins 2–1 in a game on 2–1 Sundays, throwing six scorer innings.
This is one of the four this year that Castilo did not allow a run. It is 5–1 with 2.59 ERA in nine careers, which begins against angels.
Right-arm Jack Kochanoviz (3-7, 5.34 ERA) will make its 13th start of the season for Los Angeles, coming out of his smallest outing of 2025. Last Sunday, against Cleveland, he allowed five hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings and was charged with a loss in 4–2 game.
Kochanoviz is 0–2, with two careers 7.00 ERAs, which begins against mericars.
Angels Right Fielder Mike Trout is getting closer to his position in the field, working in the outfield before Friday’s game. He has been a hitter in all seven matches to be played since he returned from the injured list on May 30 after a month’s disappearance with bone scratch in his left knee. He has been killing 10 -for -25 (.400) since his return.
Once returning to the trout field, this utility may give player Chris Taylor time to play something. Since signing with Angels after releasing from Dozers on 26 May, Taylor has played all three outfield positions and second Aadhaar. Friday was his best game in plate for Angels, receiving a single and double and just remembering a home run, if not for a leaping catches by Julio Rodriguez, the fielder of the Meriners Center.
“First and foremost, I want to perform on the field,” said Taylor. “I want to help this team win the ballgame. I feel like I have a lot to prove myself. I have not done how I feel that I am able to play the previous doubles sessions, and I want to turn it like this.”
