Angels 7, Mariners 6




        ANAHEIM, Calif. — Scott Spiezio's solo homer snapped a tie in the eighth inning and Troy Glaus hit a three-run homer with two outs in the seventh as the Anaheim Angels defeated the Seattle Mariners 7-6 Saturday night.

        Anaheim's second consecutive victory over AL West-leading Seattle left the Angels and Oakland tied for second, two games behind the Mariners.

        Rookie Scot Shields (2-1) earned his second career victory, giving up one run on two hits in two innings of relief. The right-hander struck out three and walked one.

        Shields picked up some dirt and threw it angrily on the mound after giving up a homer to Desi Relaford that tied the game at 6 in the eighth. Relaford, who has three homers, hadn't homered since May 3 at Yankee Stadium.

        Ben Weber got two outs in the ninth to earn his third save in five opportunities since Troy Percival went on the disabled list.

        Spiezio hit reliever Arthur Rhodes' first pitch of the eighth inning over the fence in left center for his fifth homer and first since June 19.

        The Angels trailed 5-2 in the seventh. Glaus hit his 16th homer off Rhodes (5-2) to give the Angels a 6-5 lead after Tim Salmon's RBI single pulled Anaheim within two runs earlier in the inning.

        Rhodes had given up only one homer all season until Saturday.

        Garret Anderson also drove in two runs for the Angels.

        John Olerud and Edgar Martinez drove in two runs apiece for the Mariners, who lost 15-3 in the series opener Friday.

        Seattle starter Ryan Franklin gave up two runs on six hits in five innings, struck out two and walked two in his fourth career start.

        Rookie John Lackey struggled in his fifth career start, giving up five runs and seven hits in 3 2-3 innings. He walked five and struck out none.

        The Mariners hit Lackey hard by scoring three runs in the first inning. Olerud had an RBI single and Martinez hit a two-strike, two-run single up the middle to give Seattle a 3-0 lead.
       

        Notes: Seattle CF Mark McLemore left the game in the first inning with tightness in his left hamstring after running to third base on a passed ball. ... The Angels improved to 3-6 against Seattle this season. ... Anaheim SS David Eckstein was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning for a major league-leading 15th time this season. ... “Friends” star Matthew Perry threw out the first pitch to a battery of “The West Wing” co-stars Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff. Actor-comedian Bob Saget sang the national anthem.
