The starting line-up for the Angels is as follows:

The Los Angeles Angels will host the Seattle Mariners Monday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif., as they try to finish off a four-game sweep. The Angels beat the Mariners 5-1 on Sunday, getting another big performance from infielder Luis Rengifo. Rengifo homered twice in Friday’s series opener, hitting a home run from each side of the plate. Sunday, he homered twice again, this time both homers coming from the right side.

The Angels went into the season expecting big things from the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout and Taylor Ward and they’ve produced. But Rengifo began the season at Triple-A Salt Lake. He joined the big-league club on May 8 and has been one of the Angels’ most valuable players, not just on the offensive side but also defensively. At the plate, his 15 homers are tied with Jared Walsh for fourth on the team behind Trout (36), Ohtani (34) and Ward (18). He’s third on the team in hits (115) and second in doubles (22).

Looking toward next season, the Angels (64-82) would hope to have a healthy Anthony Rendon back at third base, leaving second and shortstop to be handled by David Fletcher and Rengifo. He’s also versatile offensively, as he’s started a game at every spot in the lineup this season, one through nine, and is a switch hitter.

Left-hander Jose Suarez (6-7, 3.84 ERA) will make his 18th start (20th appearance) of the season for the Angels. He is 4-2 with a 3.56 ERA in 10 career games (eight starts) against the Mariners.

Logan Gilbert (12-6, 3.19) will start for Seattle (80-65), his 30th of the season. He is 3-1 with a 3.95 ERA in five career starts against the Angels. Gilbert, 25, has had a breakout season following his debut season in 2021, when he went 6-5 with a 4.68 ERA in 24 starts.
