The Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers continued their ways on Tuesday night.

The Angels (12-16) continued to skid, falling 5-3 to the Seattle Mariners in the Northwest, keeping them in fifth and last place in the American League West.

Zach Neto, now in the leadoff spot, singled, walked and scored a run.

At Chavez Ravine the Blue Crew pounded out 18 hits, including Shohei Ohtani’s seventh home run and Andy Pages’ sixth. Teo Hernandez batted 4-for-5 and drove in four runs.
