Angels’ offense gets going early, Griffin Canning pitches well in rout of Mariners

SEATTLE —

David Fletcher struck out looking in the first at-bat of the Angels’ game Saturday night against the Seattle Mariners.

After that, their offense immediately clicked into gear.

The Angels scored three runs in the first, five in the second and two more in the fourth to quickly pull away in a 10-5 rout of the Mariners at T-Mobile Park, outslugging their hosts while also getting 5u2153 strong innings from starting pitcher Griffin Canning to even the weekend series and set up a rubber match Sunday afternoon.

For the Angels (13-12), the offensive explosion began with a first-inning walk by Shohei Ohtani of all things, only the fourth free pass drawn by the two-star this year.
