Mariners vs. Angels: Julio’s hot, Logan locks in, and Seattle puts up 11
Despite an 11-0 blowout victory to start things off, Seattle dropped three of four to their division rivals as the Mariners lost to the Angels
It was a dismal ending to the road trip but things weren’t as bad as the 1-3 series record sound. The Mariners actually outscored the Angels 19-11 and the final three games were all one-run games.

He’s still struggling to rediscover the power he had in the past two years but getting his bat-to-ball skills back seems like a huge step on the road to recovery
Julio has been on fire in the month of July, posting a 1.263 OPS over 42 plate appearances. Here’s hoping he can keep things up and knock in a few more homers to lift his numbers.
