Comment on Iwakuma drilled as Mariners lose 8-1 to Angels

Iwakuma drilled as Mariners lose 8-1 to Angels

(AP) — Hisashi Iwakuma had never lost to the Los Angeles Angels, and he set their first eight batters down with perhaps the best stuff Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon had ever seen from him. [...] Iwakuma walked Efren Navarro on four pitches. The Angels became the first team in the majors to clinch a postseason berth on Monday night, with Matt Shoemaker pitching five-hit ball into the eighth inning of an 8-1 victory over Seattle. David Freese and Brennan Boesch homered for the big league-leading Angels (94-56), who reduced their magic number to three in the AL West race with their 11th victory in 12 games. Pujols left the game in the third inning with a left hamstring cramp after hitting a three-run double, while Shoemaker felt discomfort in his left side after his final pitch. Tony Campana had a two-run single and Howie Kendrick had an RBI double in the Angels' 17th win in 20 games. After three consecutive wins with their bullpen filling injured Garrett Richards' rotation spot, the Angels will try it again, starting with reliever Cory Rasmus (3-1, 2.80).
