Yusei Kikuchi gave up five runs — four earned — and walked five in 4 1/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Mariners.

Kikuchi fell to 1-6 with a 5.02 ERA. He had a 6.4 percent walk rate between 2023 and ’24, but he’s up to 9.9 percent in his two seasons with the Angels. He’s due to face the A’s on Tuesday and then could make another start against the Mariners in Game 162.
