Seattle defeated Los Angeles 1–0 on July 2 at T-Mobile Park in a pitcher's duel that fell well short of the 7.5-run Vegas total. The Mariners managed just two hits and a .694 OPS but capitalized on their lone run-scoring opportunity, while Angels hitters scattered four hits without driving in a run despite a marginally better .709 OPS. Both offenses struck out 10 times, reflecting the dominant pitching performances; Seattle's starter limited the Angels to two hits and zero earned runs across his outing, though he issued four walks. Los Angeles's pitcher countered with 10 strikeouts and a 4.59 ERA, surrendering just the one unearned run on two hits. The Angels' inability to convert their offensive chances—recording a hit in nearly every inning without producing runs—proved costly in a game decided by a single tally. This defensive struggle, highlighted by Seattle's error, underscores how thin margins operate in low-scoring contests. The Mariners' pitching depth will be tested in their next rotation turn as they look to build on this shutout.
