Beltre homers twice as Mariners blast Angels <h3>SEATTLE 12, LA ANGELS 5</h3>ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- It didn't matter to AdrianBeltre that the odds were against the Seattle Mariners. Beltre's 15th career multiple-home run game highlighted theMariners' decisive, 12-5, victory against the Los Angeles Angelsof Anaheim on Monday. Richie Sexson and Jose Guillen also homered for the Mariners,who beat the Angels for just the fourth time in their last 17meetings. In addition to their recent dominance against theMariners, the Angels came into the game having won 14 of 18 andboasting a 17-6 record here at Angel Stadium. Beltre went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a pair of doubles, threeRBI and three runs. His first blast was a two-run shot in thesixth inning off Bartolo Colon (5-2) that broke a 4-4 tie andbegan a run of eight unanswered tallies by Seattle. Sexson hit a three-run blast off reliever Hector Carrasco in asix-run seventh inning to give the Mariners a commanding 11-4lead. Two batters later, Beltre slammed Carrasco's 2-0 offeringover the left-center field wall for his ninth home run of theseason and 200th of his career. Sexson finished with three hits and the home run was his secondin the last three games. Miguel Batista (5-4) benefited from the Mariners hot bats,picking up the win after allowing four runs, nine hits and fourwalks while striking out four in 5 1/3 innings. Jon Huber heldthe Angels to one run in three innings of relief. Over their last 12 games, the Mariners are batting .328(147-for-448) and have scored 74 runs, including 50 over theirlast last five games. In two previous starts against the Mariners this season, Colonwas 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA. It was a different story on Monday ashe allowed a season-high nine runs - eight earned - and 11 hitsin 6 1/3 innings. Colon, who lost for the second time in asmany starts, did not walk a batter and struck out three. The Mariners, who have won four in a row and six of seven, brokeon top in the first inning on Guillen's solo home run. After falling behind 2-1, Seattle took a 4-2 lead in the secondon a two-run double by Jose Lopez and an RBI-single by YunieskyBetancourt. Casey Kotchman and Vladimir Guerrero - who had three hits -drove in runs to knot the game through four innings, but theAngels never reclaimed the lead. Anaheim rookie Nathan Haynes collected his first major-leaguehit in the ninth, where the Angels posted one run. Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki had a single in the game to extend hishitting-streak to 21 games. The pesky leadoff hitter is batting.419 (39-for-93) with two home runs and 20 runs over that span.He is two away from matching his career-best hitting streak of23 games, set in 2001.

Beltre homers twice as Mariners blast Angels <h3>SEATTLE 12, LA ANGELS 5</h3>ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- It didn't matter to AdrianBeltre that the odds were against the Seattle Mariners. Beltre's 15th career multiple-home run game highlighted theMariners' decisive, 12-5, victory against the Los Angeles Angelsof Anaheim on Monday. Richie Sexson and Jose Guillen also homered for the Mariners,who beat the Angels for just the fourth time in their last 17meetings. In addition to their recent dominance against theMariners, the Angels came into the game having won 14 of 18 andboasting a 17-6 record here at Angel Stadium. "We just wanted to come in here and let the Angels know that weare not going anywhere in the division," said Sexson, referringto the fact that the Mariners are 3 1/2 games behind the Angelsin the American League West. Beltre went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a pair of doubles, threeRBI and three runs. His first blast was a two-run shot in thesixth inning off Bartolo Colon (5-2) that broke a 4-4 tie andbegan a run of eight unanswered tallies by Seattle. Sexson hit a three-run blast off reliever Hector Carrasco in asix-run seventh inning to give the Mariners a commanding 11-4lead. Two batters later, Beltre slammed Carrasco's 2-0 offeringover the left-center field wall for his ninth home run of theseason and 200th of his career. "That inning for us really broke the game open and it was bigbecause the way the game was going it was going to be a battleuntil the end," Beltre said. "It was a really good day for me,but even better especially since we won." Sexson finished with three hits and the home run was his secondin the last three games. "I think that was one of my best at-bats all year long," saidSexson, who hit his seventh home run of the season on the ninthpitch of the at-bat. "I just kept fouling off pitches and Ifinally got good wood on one and hit it hard." Miguel Batista (5-4) benefited from the Mariners hot bats,picking up the win after allowing four runs, nine hits and fourwalks while striking out four in 5 1/3 innings. Jon Huber heldthe Angels to one run in three innings of relief. "Somehow I kept myself from some very big innings," Batistasaid. "It seemed like I was against the ropes in every inningbut I managed to make some key pitches and get out of them." Over their last 12 games, the Mariners are batting .328(147-for-448) and have scored 74 runs, including 50 over theirlast last five games. "You hear that hitting is contagious and right now it seems likeit's true," Mariners manager Mike Hargrove said. "We got agood ball club and sooner or later people will see that." In two previous starts against the Mariners this season, Colonwas 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA. It was a different story on Monday ashe allowed a season-high nine runs - eight earned - and 11 hitsin 6 1/3 innings. Colon, who lost for the second time in asmany starts, did not walk a batter and struck out three. "I just didn't have good command of my pitches tonight," Colonsaid through an interpreter. "I left the ball up in the zoneand they hit me hard." The Mariners, who have won four in a row and six of seven, brokeon top in the first inning on Guillen's solo home run. "We just have been doing a good job putting pressure on theother teams lately with the way we have been swinging the bats,"Guillen said. After falling behind 2-1, Seattle took a 4-2 lead in the secondon a two-run double by Jose Lopez and an RBI-single by YunieskyBetancourt. Casey Kotchman and Vladimir Guerrero - who had three hits -drove in runs to knot the game through four innings, but theAngels never reclaimed the lead. "We are playing good baseball right now but the Mariners areplaying even hotter baseball," Angels manager Mike Sciosciasaid. "I mean we got 14 hits tonight and usually when we getthat many hits in a game we win." Anaheim rookie Nathan Haynes collected his first major-leaguehit in the ninth, where the Angels posted one run. Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki had a single in the game to extend hishitting-streak to 21 games. The pesky leadoff hitter is batting.419 (39-for-93) with two home runs and 20 runs over that span.He is two away from matching his career-best hitting streak of23 games, set in 2001.
