Bees delay Mariners-Angels game

ANAHEIM, Calif. — A swarm of bees was the cause of two delays during the Seattle Mariners-Los Angeles Angels game Sunday afternoon.

The first delay happened during the third inning when Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez was on the mound.

After the grounds crew released a carbon dioxide spray in the outfield to dissuade the bees, the game continued.

After about a 20 minute delay, the game resumed.

The game briefly stopped for the second time during the fourth inning because of the bees.

The Mariners went on to beat the Angels, 3-2.
