The Los Angeles Angels’ offense was limited to just one hit as they fell 3-1 to the Seattle Mariners in extra innings during their home opener on Friday night. The game remained scoreless until the 10th inning when the Mariners broke through to hand the Angels a tough defeat in front of a sellout crowd.
