sportsSep 27, 202616188

The Los Angeles Angels finished the 2026 season 62-100 after a 7-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners, the first 100-loss season in franchise history. Logan Gilbert struck out eight over four no-hit innings and retired the first 12 batters he faced before walking Moises Ballesteros to start the fifth inning; five Seattle pitchers combined for 12 strikeouts. Seattle opened the scoring when Weston Wilson drove in Cole Young in the second inning, then added two runs in the third on a Cal Raleigh RBI single and a Dominic Canzone groundout. Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi (1-7) allowed three runs on six hits over five innings with seven strikeouts and one walk. The Mariners stretched the lead in the sixth after an Angels throwing error and a two-run double by Randy Arozarena made it 6-1; Jose Siri hit a two-run homer for the Angels in the eighth. Eduard Bazardo (4-4) was credited with the win and Cooper Criswell closed the game in the ninth for Seattle.

I still can't believe what happened this season! Will be leaving school ASAP on Tuesday and Wednesday to watch them play the Astros.

The Mariners win. They close out this disappointing 2026 with a victory, handing the Angels their 100th loss of the season. Rick Rizzs calls a win in his final game. Anaheim Angels 3 - 7 @mariners.com FINAL #TridentsUp #SeattleMariners

Mike Trout’s 142 games played were his most since 2016 as the Angels lose 100 games for the first time in franchise history. They were the only remaining franchise without a 100-loss season

It comes down to this: the Angels have to win their last game of the season to avoid losing their distinction as the only MLB team to never have a 100-loss season.

The Arte Moreno era is officially over in Anaheim. A 100-loss season, the first in franchise history, to cap a dreadful last 15 years of Angels baseball. Inherited a winner in 2003, rode a stocked farm system to a few AL West titles, and then destroyed everything soon after.

Setting aside the season's disappointments, the Mariners can go out on a strong note today, send Rizzs off into retirement with a win and hand the Angels their first 100-loss season. Goms

The #LAAngels record their first 100 loss season in franchise history. Thank you Arte for your machinations and dedication in reaching this capstone of failure during your ownership tenure. I hope you get a papercut from each of the dollar bills you’re paid as you are relegated to baseball infamy.

It’s fitting that the first 100 loss season in Angels history came in the final year of Arte Moreno’s tenure. Honestly, they were a few wins better this year than I predicted. Brighter days ahead for Angel fans. #Angels #ReptheHalo
