ANAHEIM, Calif. — Cal Raleigh homered from each side of the plate for the second time in three days, and J.P. Crawford had a two-run homer while getting three hits and three RBIs in the Seattle Mariners' 11-0 thrashing of the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night.
Jorge Polanco had a two-run single in a four-run first inning as the Mariners wrecked the major league debut of Jack Kochanowicz (0-1) and kept piling on. Seattle had 15 hits while opening a four-game series in Anaheim with its third straight victory.
Raleigh connected for a solo shot in the third inning from the left side of the plate and a three-run drive in the sixth from the right side. His 19 homers are an ongoing record for a Seattle catcher before the All-Star break.
''Cal Raleigh is on some kind of heater,'' Mariners manager Scott Servais said. ''It's hard to hit home runs from both sides of the plate, and to do it a couple of times in three games here has just been phenomenal. He has that in him, and when he gets hot, he gets rolling, and it's not just singles, it's home runs.''
Luis Castillo (8-9) pitched six innings of four-hit ball with five strikeouts to win consecutive starts for the first time since April. Seattle's pitching staff hasn't allowed a run in 19 straight innings after its second straight shutout and 10th this season.
Mickey Moniak had two hits for the Angels, who have lost nine of 11. Los Angeles was shut out for the fourth time in its last nine games.
Kochanowicz made it through three innings for the Halos, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and two hit batters. Los Angeles promoted the 23-year-old right-hander straight from Double-A Rocket City to fill a vacancy in its patchwork rotation, but the Mariners' first five batters reached base against him.
''It was good to see some aggressive swings early on,'' Raleigh said. ''That makes a difference, to come out of the gate and put pressure on them. With the pitching we have, if we get out to an early lead, it only gives our guys more confidence in pounding the zone. It was a good night.''
