Ichiro, Saunders lead Mariners

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Ichiro Suzuki homered and scored three times, Kyle Seager drove in four runs and the Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-6 on Wednesday night.

Michael Saunders added three hits to complete an impressive road trip. Saunders went 19 for 39 (.487) during Seattle's nine-game jaunt to Texas, Chicago and Anaheim, including five games with at least three hits. He had two homers and five RBIs while raising his batting average from .224 to .277.

Shawn Kelley (1-2) won in relief of starter Hector Noesi, but it was reliever Stephen Pryor who got the big outs. Pryor stifled potential Angels rallies in the sixth and seventh innings with double-play balls.

Tom Wilhelmsen pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save.

Saunders wasn't the only Mariners player to swing the bat well on the trip. Seattle scored 64 runs in the nine games and had 12 hits Wednesday, including two each by Suzuki, Seager, Dustin Ackley and Jesus Montero.

Seager had a two-run single in the sixth that turned out to be the difference.

Everyone in the Angels starting lineup except for Maicer Izturis had at least one hit.
