ANAHEIM, Calif. Shohei Ohtani gave up a leadoff homer on an underthrown fastball, and it didn’t shake him. He maintained his mechanics, deployed his vicious splitter and mostly shut down the Seattle Mariners for six strong innings.
And after he left, Ohtani cheered along with his Angels teammates when Raisel Iglesias came through with a monster of a six-out save.

Home runs by Justin Upton and Jose Rojas, and six strong innings by Shohei Ohtani led the Los Angeles Angels to a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday in Anaheim, Calif.
But it was the performance by reliever Raisel Iglesias that saved the day for the Angels.
Iglesias entered the game in the eighth inning after the Mariners loaded the bases with nobody out. But Iglesias got Mitch Haniger on a foul pop out, then struck out both Kyle Seager and Ty France to escape.
