Bryce Miller's strong outing propels Mariners past Angels
Jul 2, 2026; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller (50) pitches to the Los Angeles Angels during the first inning at T-Mobile Park. Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images Bryce Miller took a no-hitter into the seventh inning as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Los Angeles Angels 1-0 Thursday night to complete a three-game sweep of their American League West rivals.
Cal Raleigh drew a bases-loaded walk off Angels starter Walbert Urena (5-7) with two outs in the bottom of the sixth to score the game’s lone run.
Miller (4-2) allowed two hits, didn’t walk a batter and struck out eight after the right-hander had lost his previous two starts.
Neither team had a hit until Seattle’s J.P. Crawford led off the bottom of the sixth with a double into right-center field. Dominic Canzone and Randy Arozarena drew one-out walks before Urena struck out Josh Naylor on three pitches. Urena got ahead 0-2 in the count to Raleigh before last season’s home-run champ rebounded to draw a walk.
The Angels’ only baserunner through six innings came on a throwing error by third baseman Crawford after a grounder by Denzer Guzman with two outs in the fourth.
Los Angeles’ first hit came when Nolan Schanuel hit a bloop nearly off his hands into shallow right leading off the seventh, the ball falling just past the reach of second baseman Cole Young and in front of sliding right fielder Weston Wilson. Guzman followed with a fly ball down the right-field line that went off the glove of a diving Wilson, putting runners at first and second.
Miller struck out Jorge Soler, got Wade Meckler to fly out to center field and got Jo Adell to ground into a force out to get out of the jam.
Mariners reliever Eduard Bazardo retired the side in order in the eighth with two strikeouts and closer Andres Munoz worked the ninth for his 16th save of the season.
Munoz issued a leadoff walk to Zach Neto before picking him off first base. Schanuel lined a single to center and Soler grounded a two-out single to left, putting runners at first and second. Munoz got Meckler to ground out to short to end the game.
The Mariners threatened in the first, loading the bases with one out on a walk, error and hit by pitch, before Urena got Josh Naylor to hit into an inning-ending double play.
Urena gave up one run on one hit over 5 2/3 innings. The righty walked four, hit two batters with pitches and fanned six.
Mariners outfielders Julio Rodriguez and Victor Robles both left the game due to injuries. Rodriguez was hit in the back of the helmet by an errant throw from first baseman Schanuel while running the bases in the first inning and Robles, who replaced Rodriguez in the third, was hit by a pitch in the right wrist/forearm area by a 97.9 mph Urena sinker and exited in the fifth.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani (biceps) to sit Saturday vs. Padres
Jul 3, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (17) walks off the mound following the second inning against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jon Endow-Imagn Images Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani will not play Saturday night against the San Diego Padres because of tightness to his right biceps.
With the best record in MLB and a 14-game lead in the National League West, the Dodgers can afford to give their designated hitter/pitcher a chance to rest and recover.
Ohtani left Los Angeles’ 4-3 win in the seventh inning after he reported that he felt the biceps tighten up after taking a swing an inning earlier.
He told reporters after the game that he was faced with a similar issue earlier in the season and that he healed “relatively quickly.”
Manager Dave Roberts agreed.
“He’s dealt with it before,” Roberts said. “He’s a quick healer and finds a way to get back. But I do think that for us to read and react and hear what his body is telling him is really important, given the toll it takes on his body to be a two-way player.”
Ohtani was the starting pitcher against the Padres on Friday and, working on nine days’ rest, threw a season-high 110 pitches. He gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings, striking out nine.
He was 0-for-3 at the plate.
On the season, Ohtani is batting .288 with 18 home runs and 50 runs driven in. As he pitcher, he has an 8-2 record and a 1.79 ERA. He has thrown 85 2/3 innings over 14 starts.

A second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, Andrae has tallied 20 points (three goals, 17 assists) in 107 games since making his Flyers debut in October 2023.
