The Seattle Mariners were scheduled to face the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim on 15 September 2026 in their 152nd game of the season, with a 6:38 pm first pitch listed in a Yahoo Sports preview.

Seattle had already lost the chance to finish the season with a winning record after the previous night’s result, the preview said. A further defeat would have given the Mariners a losing record.

Avoiding defeat would have deferred that possibility to subsequent games, leaving the issue unresolved as the season continued.

The preview listed Mariners TV coverage and radio coverage on “Old Reliable”. It also invited discussion about players associated with both clubs and asked readers for their views on the Angels as an organisation.
