The Mariners' early lead came thanks to a throwing error from shortstop Andrelton Simmons, an RBI single by Nelson Cruz and a three-run homer from Seager. They tacked on three more in the fourth, on Martin's two-run homer and Smith's run-scoring, double-play groundout.
The Angels got a two-run homer from Albert Pujols and an RBI double from Geovany Soto in the first. Yunel Escobar then cut their deficit to three with a one-out solo homer in the eighth, prompting Miley's exit, but Smith delivered a two-run homer off Cory Rasmus in the ninth to put the game out of reach.
