On Sunday afternoon, Marco Gonzales squared off with one of the American League’s best pitchers, the Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani, and came away with the upper hand. The two pitchers dueled all game, each ending with a pitching line of seven innings and one run; a Mariners rally in the top of the 8th, however, gave Gonzales his 10th win of the season.
Marco Gonzales is now 9-0 with a 2.68 ERA since the All-Star break, and has been irreplaceable this season for the Mariners in their chase for their first postseason appearance in 20 years.
