In this story:

The Los Angeles Angels, just like last season, got off to a very hot start and showed dominance at both the plate and pitching mound.

However, it looks like all of that went out of the window in their Tuesday game against the Seattle Mariners. Getting beat down 11-2 and looking like a whole different team than the first four games is not a good sign.

Jose Martinez barely lasted over four innings as their starting pitcher and he just could never find comfortable footing. His performance left the Angels down 6-0.

Seattle got on board first thanks to a sacrifice run in the first and the game was pretty quiet as a whole for the first four innings . However, once that fourth inning hit, Teoscar Hernandez connected on a two-run home run that brought Eugenio Suarez along for the ride.

A.J. Pollock would soon follow up by bringing in Suarez with his groundout to centerfield.

Maybe we did bring our offensive aura with us but it just got transferred to the Mariners because Hernandez snagged his second official home run with the Angels but took Julio Rodriguez and Ty France along for the ride.

Pollock would then join the party himself and drive in two homers of himself. Both of them were two-run home runs and huge to extending their lead.

Cal Raleigh and France also took trips around the field and helped build an 11-0 lead in the seventh.

It's better late than never, I guess. Our Angels themselves decided they didn't want to go out with a donut on their box score once the eighth inning rolled around, two RBI's came from Hunter Renfroe and Brandon Drury.
