SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - JUNE 16: Shohei Ohtani #17 and Mike Trout #27 of the Los Angeles Angels look on before the game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on June 16, 2022 in Seattle, Washington. Mike Trout doesn’t have — or perhaps doesn’t want to share — the reason for why he has hit so well in Seattle throughout his career.
Trout has 18 homers on the season and 30 in his career in Seattle, the most of any visiting player at T-Mobile Park. The 49 career homers against the Mariners is second-most all-time, trailing only Rafael Palmeiro, who had 52 against Seattle. "I knew my pitch count was up there. If I had seven to 15 less pitches I would have definitely wanted to go back out," Ohtani said through an interpreter.Seattle snapped a streak of 17 scoreless innings on J.P. Crawford’s RBI double in the eighth, but still scored three runs or less for the sixth time in nine games.Kirby continued Seattle’s stretch of strong starting pitching getting zero help from the Mariners’ anemic offense.
