Angels’ bullpen locks up victory over Mariners

Nolan Schanuel’s RBI single in the fifth inning gave the Los Angeles Angels their first lead of the night, and three scoreless innings by the bullpen finished off a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday in Anaheim, Calif.
Travis d’Arnaud had two hits, including a two-run homer, and Chris Taylor singled, doubled and drove in a run to lead the Angels’ offense, helping give starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks the 100th victory of his career.
Hendricks (3-6) yielded four runs on eight hits in six innings. He struck out two and walked two.
The Angels got one hitless inning apiece from Ryan Zeferjahn, Reid Detmers and Kenley Jansen (13th save). The trio combined to allow just one walk while striking out three.
Seattle starter Bryce Miller (2-5) permitted five runs on six hits and a walk in five innings. He fanned two.
The Mariners opened the scoring against Hendricks in the third inning on an RBI single by J.P. Crawford, but the Angels matched it in their half of the third on an RBI single by Zach Neto off Miller.
The Mariners regained the lead in the top of the fourth after loading the bases with no outs. Rowdy Tellez drove in the first run of the inning with a sacrifice fly to deep right field, with Jorge Soler making the catch just in front of the short fence near the right field foul pole.
The second run of the inning scored when Leody Taveres grounded out, bringing in Cal Raleigh from third to give the Mariners a 3-1 lead.
The Angels matched it again in the bottom of the fourth on d’Arnaud’s two-run homer, tying the game at 3-3.
The Mariners again took the lead at 4-3 in the fifth, getting a two-out RBI triple from Julio Rodriguez. Angels center fielder Jo Adell lost his glove over the fence trying to make the catch.
The Angels responded again in the bottom of the fifth, getting an RBI double from Taylor and an RBI single from Schanuel for a 5-4 edge.
Taylor just missed out on his third hit of the game in the sixth inning, but Rodriguez made a leaping catch at the fence in center field, robbing a home run.
