Angels 6, Mariners 4: C.J. Cron doubled, homered and drove in two runs as visiting Los Angeles posted a rare victory over Seattle.

Los Angeles grabbed a 3-0 lead in the second inning on RBI doubles by Cron, Aybar and Iannetta before Seattle got on the board in the bottom half on Franklin's run-scoring single. Grant Green scored on Howie Kendrick's double-play grounder in the fourth to give the Angels a 4-1 advantage, but the Mariners got within one in the bottom of the frame as Smoak hit his seventh homer and Dustin Ackley scored on a wild pitch.

Trout widened the lead in the seventh with a sacrifice fly that plated Collin Cowgill, who led off the inning with a double. Cron led off the eighth against Tom Wilhelmsen with his third homer of the year and Ernesto Frieri notched his seventh save despite allowing Cano's RBI single in the ninth.
