    Angels clinch tie for division in tense battle with Mariners

    <h3>LA ANGELS 9, SEATTLE 5</h3>ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- No matter how many pitches wentup and in, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim would not stopsteamrolling their way to the American League West Divisiontitle.


    Vladimir Guerrero homered and Garret Anderson drove in threeruns to lead the Angels to a 9-5 victory over the SeattleMariners on Thursday.


    Howie Kendrick had three hits and two RBI for Anaheim, whichclinched at least a share of the AL West with the win.

    The Mariners jumped on top in the third, when former Angel JoseGuillen doubled in a pair of runs off starter Jered Weaver(13-7).


    After Seattle starter Ryan Feierabend (1-5) struck out JeffMathis leading off the bottom of the third, Reggie Willitsdoubled to right and Orlando Cabrera walked. Guerrero followedwith a single to right, loading the bases for Anderson, whodoubled to tie the game at 2-2.


    Kendrick singled two batters later to give Anaheim a 4-2 lead,and Juan Rivera completed the five-run inning by driving inKendrick with a base hit.


    Tempers flared in the next inning as Weaver, pitching with athree-run lead, hit Seattle catcher Kenji Johjima in the backwith two outs.


    Seattle responded in the next inning, as reliever Jorge Campillothrew a pitch near the head of Mathis - the Angels' catcher -prompting plate umpire Dana Demuth to warn both benches. Mathiseventually struck out, and Guerrero came to the plate twobatters later with a runner on first.


    Campillo went up-and-in on Guerrero, eliciting a stare and someharsh words from many on Anaheim. Guerrero took Campillo's nextpitch deep over the center field wall for a two-run blast,extending the Angels' lead to 7-2.


    Raul Ibanez brought the Mariners back to within 7-4 in the fifthwith a two-run homer and Guillen followed with a single beforebeing picked off first by Weaver.


    That frame ended the night for Weaver, who was charged with fourruns and nine hits in five innings while striking out onewithout a walk. The second-year righthander has won five of hislast six starts.


    After Cabrera tripled in a run in the sixth, Campillo againthrew at Guerrero's head, this time drawing an ejection fromDemuth and causing both benches to empty.


    The frustration likely is getting to the Mariners, who werewithin one game of the division lead on August 24 but have wonjust eight of 26 since and are on the verge of elimination.

    Anaheim's magic number sits at one with 10 games to play. Thevictory moved the Angels (91-62) one-half game ahead of idleCleveland (90-62) for the best record in baseball.

    Angels clinch tie for division in tense battle with Mariners

    <h3>LA ANGELS 9, SEATTLE 5</h3>ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- No matter how many pitches wentup and in, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim would not stopsteamrolling their way toward the American League West Divisiontitle.


    Vladimir Guerrero homered and Garret Anderson drove in threeruns to lead the Angels to a 9-5 victory over the SeattleMariners on Thursday.


    Howie Kendrick had three hits and two RBI for Anaheim, whichclinched at least a share of the AL West with the win.

    "We put ourselves in a good position to win and just have tostay focused and come out here tomorrow and get a win," Angelsmanager Mike Scioscia said.


    The Mariners jumped on top in the third, when former Angel JoseGuillen doubled in a pair of runs off starter Jered Weaver(13-7).


    "Good to get those runs early, but we made some baserunningmistakes in the game, and that just can't happen against a goodteam like the Angels," Mariners manager John McLaren said.

    After Seattle starter Ryan Feierabend (1-5) struck out JeffMathis leading off the bottom of the third, Reggie Willitsdoubled to right and Orlando Cabrera walked. Guerrero followedwith a single to right, loading the bases for Anderson, whodoubled to tie the game at 2-2.


    "Anderson, since the All-Star break, has been their besthitter," Seattle's Adrian Beltre said. "They have a lineup thatcan do it all."


    Kendrick singled two batters later to give Anaheim a 4-2 lead,and Juan Rivera completed the five-run inning by driving inKendrick with a base hit.


    "I just left my changeup up in the zone and they hit me,"Feierabend said. "I felt good early on but then just couldn'tmake a pitch."


    Tempers flared in the next inning as Weaver, pitching with athree-run lead, hit Seattle catcher Kenji Johjima in the backwith two outs.


    "I think it was the second guy I hit all year, and I was justtrying to get quick outs," Weaver said. "I had no reason to hitJohjima, and the whole situation was unnecessary."

    Seattle responded in the next inning, as reliever Jorge Campillothrew a pitch near the head of Mathis - the Angels' catcher -prompting plate umpire Dana Demuth to warn both benches. Mathiseventually struck out, and Guerrero came to the plate twobatters later with a runner on first.


    Campillo went up-and-in on Guerrero, eliciting a stare and someharsh words from many on Anaheim. Guerrero took Campillo's nextpitch deep over the center field wall for a two-run blast,extending the Angels' lead to 7-2.


    "If I'm going to get hit, that's fine, just not at my head orhit my catcher, too," Guerrero said through an interpreter. "Itwas a way to answer back at (Campillo) and it felt good for itto go out of the ballpark."


    Raul Ibanez brought the Mariners back to within 7-4 in the fifthwith a two-run homer and Guillen followed with a single beforebeing picked off first by Weaver.


    "I didn't have my best stuff tonight, but I got runs to workwith, and that allows me to challenge guys and get outs," Weaversaid.


    That frame ended the night for Weaver, who was charged with fourruns and nine hits in five innings while striking out onewithout a walk. The second-year righthander has won five of hislast six starts.


    After Cabrera tripled in a run in the sixth, Campillo againthrew at Guerrero's head, this time drawing an ejection fromDemuth and causing both benches to empty.


    "If that guy's not suspended for a month, then something'swrong," Scioscia said. "Those were intentional, no question.What that guy did was flagrant, and if it came from the bench,then that's just wrong."


    "Just have to forget what happened tonight and take the sameapproach tomorrow and win the game," Guerrero said.

    The frustration likely is getting to the Mariners, who werewithin one game of the division lead on August 24 but have wonjust eight of 26 since and are on the verge of elimination.

    Anaheim's magic number sits at one with 10 games to play. Thevictory moved the Angels (91-62) one-half game ahead of idleCleveland (90-62) for the best record in baseball.
