SEATTLE, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Kenji Johjima drove in three runs Tuesday, helping the Seattle Mariners take a 9-6 win from the Los Angeles Angels, who have already clinched the division.

Yuniesky Betancourt, Jeremy Reed and Wladimir Balentien each drove in a pair of runs as the Mariners ended a season-high, 12-game losing streak.

Mike Napoli hit a three-run homer and Gary Matthews added a two-run shot for the American League West-champion Angels, who hold a two-game lead over Tampa Bay for home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Roy Corcoran (6-2) got the win in relief. Kevin Jepsen (0-1) was the loser, also in relief.
