ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jake Fraley hit his first major league homer, and the surging Seattle Mariners began a 10-game road trip with a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
Fraley’s three-run shot to right-center off Griffin Canning (4-4) gave Seattle a 4-2 lead in the fourth inning. Kyle Seager also went deep and J.P. Crawford had three hits for the Mariners, who have won eight of 11.
Justin Upton and Jared Walsh homered for the Angels, who have dropped three of their four games against the Mariners so far this season.
Mariners starter Justus Sheffield (5-4) picked up his fifth win. He gave up both Angels' runs, but struck out seven over five-and-two-thirds innings. The Seattle bullpen pitched three-and-a-third shutout innings.
