Angels roll on with rout of Mariners

Baseball Betting Lines

06/05/2010 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ervin Santana allowed one run in six solid innings and Torii Hunter continued his torrid stretch with three hits and three RBI, as the Angels remained hot with an 11-2 rout of the Seattle Mariners.

Santana (6-3) won his fifth consecutive start after scattering seven hits and three walks while fanning two for Los Angeles, which has won four straight and seven of eight to move two games above .500 (30-28) for the first time all season.

Hunter, meanwhile, has driven in at least one run in four consecutive games and has nine RBI in that stretch. Maicer Izturis and Howie Kendrick each added two hits, two RBI and two runs scored in the victory.

Ichiro Suzuki went 2-for-3 and scored his 1,000th career run for the Mariners, who have lost two straight after a three-game win streak. Ryan Rowland-Smith, starting for the first time since May 17, gave up just one run in five innings, but Garrett Olson (0-1) allowed three runs while recording just one out to receive the loss.

Olson began on the mound for Seattle in the sixth with the game tied, 1-1, and immediately ran into trouble.

Hunter began the frame with a double and scored the go-ahead run two batters later on a Mike Napoli single. Napoli moved to second on a wild pitch, prompting Olson to intentionally walk Juan Rivera.

Shawn Kelley relieved Olson, but the Angels' offense kept producing. Bobby Wilson walked to load the bases with one out, and Erick Aybar made it 3-1 with an RBI groundout. With runners now on second and third, Izturis plated both with a single to left.

Kendrick was then hit by a pitch, and Bobby Abreu walked to reload the bases with two away. Hunter and Hideki Matsui followed with back-to-back walks to force in a pair of runs for a 7-1 advantage. Napoli, the 12th batter of the inning, finally ended the rally with a groundout to second.

Los Angeles poured it on in the seventh with four runs. With the bases loaded and one out, Kendrick drove in two with a single to center, and after an Abreu walk reloaded the bases, Hunter plated two more with a double to right for an 11-1 game.

Chone Figgins' RBI single in the ninth for the M's accounted for the final margin.

Abreu's sacrifice fly in the third inning gave the Angels the early lead, but Suzuki doubled, moved to third on a bunt single and scored on Franklin Gutierrez's groundout to help Seattle tie the score in the fifth.

Game Notes

The Angels played without manager Mike Scioscia, who left the team for two games to attend his daughter's high school graduation. Bench coach Ron Roenicke served as the interim manager, and the Angels improved to 6-0 with him at the helm...Los Angeles leads the season series, 6-2...Seattle's Doug Fister was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday with a fatigued shoulder...Mariners third baseman Jose Lopez had an 11-game hit streak snapped.
