After signing with the Angels two weeks ago, Chris Taylor struggled to make an impact. However, he broke out in a significant way, showcasing a strong performance with two hits, including a crucial RBI double, helping the Angels secure a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Taylor's efforts were complemented by Nolan Schanuel's timely single, which pushed Taylor across home plate for the winning run.

The Angels exhibited a solid offensive display, with seven hits and minimal strikeouts. This marked their third win in four games, placing them closer to the Mariners in the AL West standings. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud also contributed with a two-run homer. Despite Kyle Hendricks giving up four runs in six innings, he achieved a milestone with his 100th career win. The Angels' pitching staff continued to impress, with both Ryan Zeferjahn and Reid Detmers contributing scoreless innings, while Kenley Jansen secured his 13th save.
