Los Angeles Angels lose to Seattle Mariners 1-6 – MLB Update
Los Angeles Angels lost to Seattle Mariners 1-6 in the second game of their three-match regular series encounter on Tuesday, October 2 at Safeco Field in Seattle.
"It's a nice personal accomplishment. It was a good offseason for me. I worked out really hard, trying to get myself to where you can hit the ball a little harder, and the coaches have helped me out a lot here, I don't really consider myself a home run hitter," Kyle Seager said about his team’s performance which outplayed the Angels comprehensively.
Seager added, "I think it would affect us in a negative way if we really started thinking about it if everyone started trying to hit balls in the air and that kind of deal, If everyone continues with what we've been doing of late, we'll be good."
