Some thought the Seattle Mariners were waving the white flag when they sent closer Paul Sewald to the Arizona Diamondbacks at the trade deadline.
Andres Munoz earned a save by striking out the side Thursday in a 5-3 win against the host Los Angeles Angels, then Matt Brash fanned a pair on Friday as the Mariners triumphed 9-7 in Anaheim, Calif.
Brash allowed a bloop single and a walk leading off the ninth to bring up Shohei Ohtani, who leads the majors with 40 home runs. Ty France, Dylan Moore, Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh homered for Seattle, which won for the eighth time in its past 10 games and remained 2 1/2 games out of the American League's third and final wild-card berth.
The Angels were buyers at the trade deadline in an effort to make a playoff push before Ohtani becomes a free agent in the offseason. Los Angeles, however, lost its fourth game in a row and dropped five games back in the wild-card race."Positives is winning games, and we're not right now. We had plenty of offense. We've got to get ahead of hitters. The walks killed us," said Angels manager Phil Nevin, whose staff issued seven base on balls. "We have to fix things.
