The Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 on Saturday night, rebounding from a tough loss on Friday to at least assure themselves a split in the four-game series.

The Mariners lost 3-2 to the Angels in extra innings despite a pair of solo home runs by Rodríguez and the debut of Josh Naylor. Bryan Woo worked into the seventh inning with six strikeouts, and the bullpen got the game to the 10th unscathed. But their efforts could not outlast a feckless Mariners’ lineup, and the Angels eventually walked it off.

The Seattle Mariners made their move at the trade deadline by bringing in Josh Naylor, a move that has Julio Rodriguez optimistic.
