The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Tuesday night, with the loss clinching a losing season for Seattle. Ryan Johnson pitched six innings for the Angels, allowing one run, while Josh Lowe broke a tie with a home run in the sixth inning.
The result marks the Mariners' first losing season since 2020, per reporting from r/baseball. Seattle's struggles down the stretch have been notable—the team went 2-7 against the Angels and Athletics combined in September, according to one Reddit post, despite preseason expectations about the relative ease of their late-season schedule.
