What happened: The Los Angeles Angels marked their arrival in Seattle — long nicknamed "Jet City" for its aviation roots — ahead of a road series in the Pacific Northwest. The club is opening a divisional road trip in the AL West.

Why it matters: Road games within the AL West carry added weight, with every divisional result shaping where the Angels sit in the standings race. A strong showing away from home would help steady the season's trajectory.

What to watch: First pitch of the series will set the tone for how the Angels handle a tough Pacific Northwest road trip.
