Mariners strike out 12 in 7-3 win over the Angels, announce Wilson will not return as manager
Shortly after the victory, the Mariners announced Dan Wilson would not return as manager next season. Wilson, a Mariners Hall of Famer who played catcher for the team from 1994-2005, took over the job after Seattle fired Scott Servais on Aug. 22, 2024. Wilson finishes with a 187-171 record as Mariners manager, at .522 the second-best winning percentage in club history behind Lou Piniella (.542).
Gilbert retired the first 12 batters he face and after walking Moises Ballesteros at the start of the fifth inning was lifted and left to a standing ovation from the Mariners fans.
The Mariners took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Weston Wilson drove in Cole Young with a grounder to third base.
Seattle scored two more runs in the third on Cal Raleigh's RBI single off Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi, and Dominic Canzone scored on a groundout by Josh Naylor to make it 3-0.
Kikuchi (1-7) allowed three runs on six hits over five innings, with one walk and seven strikeouts.
Bryce Teodosio scored for the Angels on a sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning, but the Mariners responded with three in the bottom half when Young scored on an Angels throwing error and Randy Arozarena drove in two with a double to make it 6-1.
Jose Siri hit a two-run homer for the Angels in the eighth, and Leo Rivas scored for the Mariners in the bottom half on a wild pitch.
Cooper Criswell pitched the ninth for the Mariners. Eduard Bazardo (4-4) got the win.
After finishing the 2025 season with a 90-72 record and advancing to the seventh game of the ALCS against Toronto, the Mariners missed the playoffs with a disappointing 76-86 record this season. Despite that mark, the Mariners drew 2,883,798 fans in 2026, the team’s highest total since 2004.
The Angels finish 2026 with a record of 62-100, the first 100-loss season in franchise history. They were the only one of the 30 current MLB teams without a 100-loss season. The team's previous high for losses was 99 in 2024. This season was a 10-game slide for Los Angeles, which had a 72-90 record in 2025.
