Samuel Aldegheri gives up five earned runs in his Angels debut but manages to make it through five innings during a 9-5 loss to the Seattle Mariners.
Victor Robles had three hits and drove in two runs, Julio Rodríguez homered for the first time since coming off the injured list and the Seattle Mariners opened a 10-game road trip with a 9-5 victory over the Angels on Friday night. The Mariners scored five times in the first to ruin the debut of Angels' left-hander Samuel Aldegheri, who became the first player born and raised in Italy to pitch in a major league game.
However, it went off the Angels shortstop's glove, and two runs scored. Mitch Garver's bases-loaded double down the left-field line drove in two more. Robles, the ninth batter in the inning, followed with an RBI base hit to center to make it 5-0. The Angels responded with two in the bottom of the first. Ward had the fourth leadoff homer of his career and Nolan Schanuel hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Neto.
