Mariners beat Angels, 9-4

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Raul Ibanez, Jose Lopez and Yuniesky Betancourt each hit two-run homers, helping the Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 9-4 Sunday and finish off the three-game series with their second win.

Carl Everett added a solo shot as seven of the Mariners' runs came on long balls barely 12 hours after their 5-4 victory on Richie Sexson's homer in the 13th inning Saturday night.

Gil Meche (3-2) allowed four runs on six hits in 5 1-3 innings, struck out five and walked three.

The Angels lost for the seventh time in eight home games behind another disastrous outing by Jeff Weaver (1-6).

The right-hander gave up seven runs on seven hits in 3 2-3 innings — his second-shortest outing of the season — struck out one and walked none in losing his fourth straight.

The Mariners led 4-0 on a pair of two-run homers by Ibanez and Lopez, who connected on his first pitch from Weaver in the third. The Angels rallied to tie the game in the bottom half. Vladimir Guerrero's single scored their first run. Garret Anderson drove in another run with a fielder's choice groundout before Adam Kennedy's two-out, two-run homer that made it 4-4.

But the Mariners came right back with three runs in the fourth. Everett sent the first pitch from Weaver over the wall in right field, then Betancourt chased Weaver with his two-run shot. It was Betancourt's second homer in as many games after having one in 327 major league at-bats before Saturday.

Seattle extended its lead to 9-4 in the seventh on a throwing error by third baseman Chone Figgins. Ichiro Suzuki walked and Lopez singled to right field. Guerrero tried to get Suzuki at third as Lopez took second on the throw. Figgins' throw back to second struck Lopez and caromed into short center field, allowing both runners to score.

Notes

Anderson left the game in the seventh because of tightness in his left hamstring. ... RHP Emiliano Fruto made his major-league debut for the Mariners in the sixth after being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma. He cleanly fielded a comebacker from Figgins on his third pitch and started an inning-ending double play. ... A roster spot opened up for Fruto when LHP Bobby Livingston was optioned to Tacoma. ... The Mariners improved to 13-6 when they homer. ... Several players on both teams used special pink bats, which will be auctioned to raise money for breast cancer.
