Trumbo's Walk-Off Blast Gives Angels 4-3 Win

 

ANAHEIM (AP) -- Mark Trumbo led off the ninth with a tiebreaking homer, and Hank Conger hit a tying homer in the seventh inning of the Los Angeles Angels' 12th win in 15 games, 4-3 over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.

 

Erick Aybar hit a leadoff homer and Vernon Wells also connected for the Angels before Trumbo delivered Los Angeles' first game-ending homer of the season against David Pauley (5-2), who had just escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth.

 

Mike Trout went 0 for 3 in the prized Los Angeles prospect's major league debut, but the 19-year-old made a spectacular sprinting catch to end Seattle's ninth inning.

The Angels promoted Trout for the final three games before the All-Star break.

 

Greg Halman had two hits for the Mariners, who have lost 14 of their past 16 games at Angel Stadium.

 

All-Star selection Jordan Walden (2-2) pitched the ninth for Los Angeles.
